Jasmine Warga
“There is an Arabic proverb that says:
She makes you feel
like a loaf of freshly baked bread.

It is said about
the nicest
kindest
people.
The type of people
who help you
rise.”
Jasmine Warga, Other Words for Home

Glennon Doyle Melton
“People who are hurting don't need Avoiders, Protectors, or Fixers. What we need are patient, loving witness. People to sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in helpful vigil to our pain.”
Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior

Susan Sontag
“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question is what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing “we” can do—but who is that “we”?—and nothing “they” can do either—and who are “they”?—then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others

Fredrik Backman
“An unreasonable amount of paperwork is required these days just to be a human being.”
Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here

Angeline Boulley
“Inaction is a powerful choice”
Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper’s Daughter
