Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I wanted to pursue things, to know things, but I could not match the means of knowing that came naturally to me with the expectations of professors. The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people's interests. The library was open, unending, free.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Heather   Morris
“remember the small things, and the big things will work themselves out.”
Heather Morris, The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Desmond Tutu
“You show your humanity by how you see yourself not as apart from others but from your connection to others.”
Desmond Tutu, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

Gail Honeyman
“Sometimes you simply needed someone kind to sit with you while you dealt with things.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Blythe Baird
“I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.”
Blythe Baird
