“I tell my students, 'When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.”

“Muhammad brought the promise that anyone could find fulfillment and everlasting life through allegiance to the one true God. The Buddah held out hope that the suffering could be transcended.

And so that is the question I leave you with in this final: What is your cause for hope.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
