Book cover for The Mountains We Carry
My eyes are fixed on the baby, who is now playing with his mother’s scarf and trying to free himself from her exhausted grip. He will never remember his father.

Bryan Stevenson
“I realized something sitting there while Jimmy Dill was being killed at Holman prison. After working for more than twenty-five years, I understood that I don't do what I do because it's required or necessary or important. I don't do it because I have no choice. I do what I do because I'm broken, too.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

John  Green
“Thomas Edison's last words were "It's very beautiful over there". I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.”
John Green, Looking for Alaska

“Stories are powerful,” he said, “but gather too many of the words of others in your heart, and they will drown out your own. Remember that.”
Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar, The Map of Salt and Stars

Trevor Noah
“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“So, here you are
too foreign for home
too foreign for here.
Never enough for both.”
