Judy Batalion
“The government want to criminalize all abortion and disallow in vitro fertilization because it produced wasted seed...My two companions were outraged at the misogyny, incensed by their government's unjust treatment of women. It sounds like the Poland I write about of the 1930s and 40s was more feminist than now. In some ways, it was.”
Judy Batalion, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos

Ransom Riggs
“Is anything illegal here?' Addison asked.
'Library late fines are stiff. Ten lashes a day, and that's just for paperbacks.
'There's a library?'
'Two. Though one won't lend because all the books are bound in human skin and quite valuable.”
Ransom Riggs

Mark Waid
“You need your own strength in this life. Your own purpose. You can't simply live for others.”
Mark Waid, Star Wars: Princess Leia

Anne Lamott
“She quoted the Reverend James Forbes as saying, “Nobody gets into heaven without a letter of reference from the poor.”
Anne Lamott, Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace

GennaRose Nethercott
“How do you ruin a people? Is it with fire? Is it with bullets? You can drag a man through the street tied to the back of a horse. You can incinerate a village. Can line families up in rows against a brick wall and fell them, one by one, like a forest. But all it takes is one survivor, and the story lives on. One survivor to carry the poems and the songs, the prayers, the sorrows. It isn’t just taking a life that destroys a people. It’s taking their history.”
GennaRose Nethercott, Thistlefoot
