David McCullough
“All the money anyone needs is just enough to prevent one from being a burden on others.”
David McCullough, The Wright Brothers

Charlie LeDuff
“An earthmover was there, but instead of placing a casket into the ground, it was taking one out.
They're removing the dead. Taking him to the suburbs.
White flight. Black flight. Now dead flight.”
Charlie LeDuff

J.D. Vance
“There is a cultural movement in the white working class to blame problems on society or the government, and that movement gains adherents by the day.”
J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

Simon Winchester
“Any grand new dictionary ought itself to be a democratic product, a book that demonstrated the primacy of individual freedoms, of the notion that one could use words freely, as one liked, without hard and fast rules of lexical conduct.”
Simon Winchester, The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary

Thomas Merton
“The peculiar grace of a shaker chair is due to the fact that it was made by someone capable of believing that an angel might come and sit on it.”
Thomas Merton
