“It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it.”
Nora Sakavic, The Foxhole Court

Hope Jahren
“I’m good at science because I’m not good at listening. I have been told that I am intelligent, and I have been told that I am simple-minded. I have been told that I am trying to do too much, and I have been told that what I have done amounts to very little. I have been told that I can’t do what I want to do because I am a woman, and I have been told that I have only been allowed to do what I have done because I am a woman. I have been told that I can have eternal life, and I have been told that I will burn myself out into an early death. I have been admonished for being too feminine and I have been distrusted for being too masculine. I have been warned that I am far too sensitive and I have been accused of being heartlessly callous. But I was told all of these things by people who can’t understand the present or see the future any better than I can. Such recurrent pronouncements have forced me to accept that because I am a female scientist, nobody knows what the hell I am, and it has given me the delicious freedom to make it up as I go along. I don’t take advice from my colleagues, and I try not to give it. When I am pressed, I resort to these two sentences: You shouldn’t take this job too seriously. Except for when you should.”
Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

Maggie Stiefvater
“What a strange constellation they all were.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

“Remember this feeling. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”
Nora Sakavic, The Foxhole Court

Zaman Ali
“No one should need to be big enough to destroy others and all of us must have to be powerful and resourceful enough to protect ourselves.”
Zaman Ali, ZAMANISM Wealth of the People
