“America has been just, and it has perpetuated injustice. We have been peaceful, and we have perpetrated acts of violence. We have been—and are—good. And we have done terrible things to people who didn’t deserve them. It has been the land of the free while simultaneously sanctioning oppression. Such is often the experience of any government run by fallible human beings. Sometimes we surprise ourselves in our capacity for greatness, and sometimes the weight of regret wraps around us like a chain.”
Sharon McMahon, The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History

“I didn't know it was happiness at the time, because it felt like busyness and exhaustion and financial stress and self doubt.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“We are born and grow through childhood in spring. We live those glorious, lively, interesting years of our twenties, thirties, forties in summer. We settle into ourselves in autumn, that cool but not yet cold time, rich and aromatic. And in winter we age (brutally) and die.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“It wasn’t as if I’d grewn up in Los Angeles - I’d seen plenty of farms in my day. But never had I seen a place that made the tightness in my chest relax. The order in the rows of trees and the dark green of the lush grass beneath them soothed me like a hand brushing against my forehead.”
Ann Patchett, Tom Lake

Elif Shafak
“Better to be a gentle soul than one consumed by anger, resentment and vengeance. Anyone can wage war, but maintaining peace is a difficult thing.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky
