Randy Pausch
“Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I feel badly that I hurt you. 3) How do I make this better?”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I’m here, Dr. Fein, because it upsets my mom that I’m having an impossible time with my life.” “Should it upset her?” “Not really. Life is impossible.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“whatever we might make of this country’s criminal justice policy, it cannot be said that it was imposed by a repressive minority. The abuses that have followed from these policies—the sprawling carceral state, the random detention of black people, the torture of suspects—are the product of democratic will. And so to challenge the police is to challenge the American people who send them into the ghettos armed with the same self-generated fears that compelled the people who think they are white to flee the cities and into the Dream. The problem with the police is not that they are fascist pigs but that our country is ruled by majoritarian pigs.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Rebecca Skloot
“Black scientists and technicians, many of them women, used cells from a black woman to help save the lives of millions of Americans, most of them white. And they did so on the same campus—and at the very same time—that state officials were conducting the infamous Tuskegee syphilis studies.”
Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Howard Zinn
“The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you don’t listen to it, you will never know what justice is.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present
