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

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

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

Bono
“The search for common ground starts with the search for higher ground, even with your opponents, especially with your opponents...You don't have to agree on everything if the one thing you do agree on is important enough.”
Bono, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story

Judy Batalion
“On the other hand, the government had just passed a law making it illegal to blame Poland for any crimes committed in the Holocaust, and that doing so could result in incarceration. After decades of Soviet repression and Nazi conquest before that, the Poles were in a new nationalist phase. Their own victim status in WWII was important. The Polish underground was hugely popular; its anchor symbol graffitied across Warsaw buildings. People wore T-shirts with sleeve decorations that mimicked the Resistance armbands.”
Judy Batalion, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos
