Sam’s Notes & Highlights

Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond

10 highlights

“Being poor,” they write, “reduces a person’s cognitive capacity more than going a full night without sleep.”

“There’s something magical about a departed headache. It’s a shame the joy fades and you can’t appreciate not having one every moment of your life.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Broken Empire Trilogy: Prince of Thorns / King of Thorns / Emperor of Thorns

“For seven hundred years, my people have been enslaved without voice, without hope. Now I am their sword. And I do not forgive. I do not forget. So let him lead me onto his shuttle. Let him think he owns me. Let him welcome me into his house, so I might burn it down.”
― Pierce Brown, Golden Son

“And it beats inside me, this terrible hope, as I know that the end has begun, and I am finally awake. “Break the chains,” I roar. And my people roar back.”
― Pierce Brown, Morning Star
