Hope Jahren
“Working in the hospital teaches you that there are only two kinds of people in the world: the sick and the not sick. If you are not sick, shut up and help. Twenty-five years later, I still cannot reject this as an inaccurate worldview.”
Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

Barbara Kingsolver
“When men fear the loss of what they know, they will follow any tyrant who promises to restore the old order.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Unsheltered

Elizabeth Strout
“Because we all love imperfectly.”
Elizabeth Strout, My Name Is Lucy Barton

Hope Jahren
“Each beginning is the end of a waiting. We are each given exactly one chance to be. Each of us is both impossible and inevitable. Every replete tree was first a seed that waited.”
Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“There is much room to grow as individuals, and in doing so we can discover truths about our own inclinations. You should know that for every action there is a reaction. Your perseverance, kindness, or humor creates a ripple effect in our culture just as much as your indifference, violence, or negativity”
Omar Saif Ghobash, Letters to a Young Muslim
