This is a really difficult story for me

John Steinbeck
“In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted shortcuts to love.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Roxane Gay
“As a teacher, I think carefully about the intellectual space I want to foster in my classroom -- a space where debate, dissent ad even protest are encouraged. I want to challenge students and be challenged. I don't want to shape their opinions. I want to shape how they articulate and support those opinions.”
Roxane Gay, Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism, and Minding Other People’s Business

Leila Mottley
“School's got as many potholes as the streets, always chipping, always leaving us to trip.”
Leila Mottley, Nightcrawling

Ottessa Moshfegh
“Idealism without consequences is the pathetic dream of every spoiled brat.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen

Roxane Gay
“When students leave my classroom, any classroom, they have to and should face the real world, the best and worst of it. I can only hope they are adequately prepared to navigate the world as it is rather than how we wish it could be. But I also hope they are both realistic and idealistic. I hope that, like me, they search for safety, or work to create a world where some measure of safety, not to be confused with anything as infantile as coddling, is an inalienable right.”
Roxane Gay, Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism, and Minding Other People’s Business
