Michelle Obama
“Time, as far as my father was concerned, was a gift you gave to other people.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Nilantha Ilangamuwa
“Fear has become normal and is covered by the idea of “patriotism”.”
Nilantha Ilangamuwa

Sylvia Plath
“Do you know what a poem is, Esther?'
No, what?' I would say.
A piece of dust.'
Then, just as he was smiling and starting to look proud, I would say, 'So are the cadavers you cut up. So are the people you think you're curing. They're dust as dust as dust. I reckon a good poem lasts a whole lot longer than a hundred of those people put together.'
And of course Buddy wouldn't have any answer to that, because what I said was true. People were made of nothing so much as dust, and I couldn't see that doctoring all that dust was a bit better than writing poems people would remember and repeat to themselves when they were unhappy or sick or couldn't sleep.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

George Eliot
“I think I dislike what I don't like more than I like what I like.”
George Eliot, Daniel Deronda

Sarah Dessen
“It doesn't matter, anyway, why you like me. Just that you do.”
Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby
