Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters

Michelle Obama
“Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It’s vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Barack Obama

Barack Obama, A Promised Land

Barack Obama
“I’d met my share of highly credentialed, high-IQ morons”
Barack Obama, A Promised Land
