Ta-Nehisi Coates
“So I don’t really worry about the young, whose excesses are confined to lecture halls and quadrangles, so much as I fear the old, whose tyrannies are legislative.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Here’s what you need to understand about other people’s addictions: You didn’t cause it, you can’t control it, and you can’t cure it. There’s nothing you can do to manage Rayya at this point, and the more you try to control the situation, the more you will lose. When it comes to other people’s addictions, whatever you try to control ends up controlling you.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, All the Way to the River

“We are in a rare period in American history, when the decline of one political order makes space for another.”
Ezra Klein, Abundance

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Journalists claim to be hearing “both sides” as though a binary opposition had been set down by some disinterested god. But it is the journalists themselves who are playing god—it is the journalists who decide which sides are legitimate and which are not, which views shall be considered and which pushed out of the frame.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Virginia      Evans
“with age I have learned my feelings and my experience are, sadly, not unique. Terrible things happen. We make choices. Time cannot be rewound. The good that comes out of the bad can be unbearable.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent
