Carlo Rovelli
“National identity is a con. It's good for overcoming local interests for the common good, but it is short-sighted and counterproductive when it promotes the interests of a totally artificial group – 'our nation' – above a more ample sense of what the common good consists of.”
Carlo Rovelli, There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness

“Give yourself away sometimes, sweetheart, There's so much of you.”
Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

Matthew Edward Hall
“Mining lead is alchemically injecting suffering and aggression into the veins of tomorrow.”
Matthew Edward Hall, San Mateo: Proof of The Divine

Casey McQuiston
“I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire.
And then I was a careless fool, and I fell in love with you anyway. When you rang me at truly shocking hours of the night, I loved you. When you kissed me in disgusting public toilets and pouted in hotel bars and made me happy in ways in which it had never even occurred to me that a mangled-up, locked-up person like me could be happy, I loved you.
And then, inexplicably, you had the absolute audacity to love me back. Can you believe it?
Sometimes, even now, I still can't.”
Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“Sometimes you just jump and hope it's not a cliff.”
