Colin Jost
“To my mom and dad, and my brother, Casey. You're like family to me.”
Colin Jost, A Very Punchable Face

Emily Nemens
“Ask any fan, and she'll tell you there's something satisfyingly linear about baseball: three strikes, three outs. Four bases, nine innings. A lineup, for chrissake-you don't need to be an etymologist to see the meaning in that. But at the same time as that steady progression of three up, three down, then the next, then the next, it's going around and around, cycling through the order, running around the bases. Things get parabolic. There's the arc of up and down through the organization, from Single-A Carolina to the big time in Culver City, the tight arc of an infield-fly out and the majestic one of a game-winning homer.”
Emily Nemens, The Cactus League

“Ethically speaking, Yankees players and fans deserve an excessive amount of anger. It's the only exception Aristotle allows for. Don't try to look it up in the Ethics; it's in a different book. I forget which one, but it's in one of them. He also says it's bad to root for the Dallas Cowboys.”
Michael Schur, How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question

Anne Applebaum
“Earlier that day, Bobi Wine, a Ugandan musician and nearly successful presidential candidate—or maybe, if the votes had been counted correctly, a genuinely successful one—spoke to the group. He argued against the use of the word "opposition." No, he argued, we are not an opposition; we are an option, a better option.”
Anne Applebaum, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World

Anne Applebaum
“Kleptocracy and autocracy go hand in hand, reinforcing each other but also undermining any other institutions that they touch. The real estate agents who don't ask too many questions in Sussex or Hampshire, the factory owners eager to unload failing businesses in Warren, the bankers in Sioux Falls happy to accept mystery deposits from mystery clients—all of them help undermine the rule of law in their own countries and around the world.”
Anne Applebaum, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World
