Elle Kennedy
“He’s drop dead gorgeous and more popular than Justin Bieber. Well, at least before Beebs went off the rails.”
Elle Kennedy, The Deal

Johann Hari
“I don't think it's a coincidence that this crisis in paying attention has taken place at the same time as the worst crisis of democracy since the 1930s. People who can't focus will be more drawn to simplistic authoritarian solutions--and less likely to see clearly when they fail. A world full of attention-deprived citizens alternating between Twitter and Snapchat will be a world of cascading crises where we can't get a handle on any of them.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Much of our suffering comes from wrong perceptions. To remove that hurt, we have to remove our wrong perception.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm

Penelope Douglas
“He pulls in a pair of his old muddy, rain boots from when he was thirteen or so and tosses them across the floor at her.”
Penelope Douglas, Credence

Micah Nemerever
“He endured it to punish himself, and to prove to himself that he could; those were the only two reasons he ever chose to do anything worthwhile.”
Micah Nemerever, These Violent Delights
