Tara Westover
“Everything I had worked for, all my years of study, had been to purchase for myself this one privilege: to see and experience more truths than those given to me by my father, and to use those truths to construct my own mind. I had come to believe that the ability to evaluate many ideas, many histories, many points of view, was at the heart of what it means to self-create. If I yielded now, I would lose more than an argument. I would lose custody of my own mind. This was the price I was being asked to pay, I understood that now. What my father wanted to cast from me wasn’t a demon: it was me.”
Tara Westover, Educated

“The skill I was learning was a crucial one, the patience to read things I could not yet understand.”

“Who writes history? I thought. I do.”

John Green
“What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think life asks more of you than watching TV.”
John Green, An Abundance of Katherines

E. Lockhart
“He was contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee. I could have looked at him forever.”
E. Lockhart, We Were Liars
