Matthew Desmond
“Because giving increases your sense of self-worth and receiving diminishes it—ladling soup at the Salvation Army evokes a very different feeling from having it ladled into your bowl—there is good reason to expect people will overestimate the amount of support they give and underestimate the amount they receive”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Ocean Vuong
“I’m not telling you a story so much as a shipwreck—the pieces floating, finally legible.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

S.B. Divya
“Technology was as habit-forming as every escapist, feel-good drug”
S.B. Divya, Machinehood

“You have to serve those who need to be served, not just the ones who make you feel good about yourself.”
Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

T.J. Klune
“These children are faced with nothing but preconceived notions about who they are. And they grow up to be adults who know only the same. You said it yourself: Lucy wasn’t who you expected him to be, which means you already had decided in your head what he was. How can we fight prejudice if we do nothing to change it? If we allow it to fester, what’s the point?”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
