“People are rotten everywhere you go. They’re no good. You want to see a very bad man? Make an ordinary man successful beyond his imagination. Let’s see how good he is when he can do whatever he wants.”

John  Green
“It reminded me, that when we know about suffering, when we are proximal to it, we are capable of extraordinary generosity. We can do and be so much for each other. But only when we see one another in our full humanity. Not as statistics or problems, but as people who deserve to be alive in the world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“I would never accept a world where Hank might be told: “I’m sorry, but while your cancer has a 92% cure rate when treated properly, there just aren’t adequate resources in the world to make that treatment available to you.” That world would be so obviously and unacceptably unjust. So how can I live in a world where Henry and his family are told that? How can I accept a world where over a million people will die this year for want of a cure that has existed for nearly a century?”
John Green

“You might think you are all that, winning all sorts of prizes, learning all sorts of things, and that that entitles you to make fun of people. But don't you ever laugh at someone who doesn't know how to spell or read as well as you do! Just because you have been blessed with parents who are teachers, who are able to make sure you get an education, doesn't make you one bit better than someone who didn't have the same opportunities.”
Ketanji Brown Jackson, Lovely One: A Memoir

“a high school counselor I knew had put it, when they enter adolescence, our children fire us as the bosses of their lives, and it then falls to us to convince them to rehire us as consultants. With my offspring, most days, I wasn’t altogether sure that I would get the job.”
Ketanji Brown Jackson, Lovely One: A Memoir

John  Green
“TB in the twenty-first century is not really caused by a bacteria that we know how to kill. TB in the twenty-first century is really caused by those social determinants of health, which at their core are about human-built systems for extracting and allocating resources. The real cause of contemporary tuberculosis, is for lack of a better term, us.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
