Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“However, some things must be said, and there are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Louis L'Amour
“Often I hear people say they do not have time to read. That's absolute nonsense. In the one year during which I kept that kind of record, I read twenty-five books while waiting for people. In offices, applying for jobs, waiting to see a dentist, waiting in a restaurant for friends, many such places. I read on buses, trains, and plains. If one really wants to learn, one has to decide what is important. Spending an evening on the town? Attending a ball game? Or learning something that can be with you your life long?”
Louis L'Amour, Education of a Wandering Man: A Memoir

Walter Cronkite
“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
Walter Cronkite

Maude Julien
“The only sustenance that matters is the love in my dog’s eyes and the hope of meeting people who dare to truly live.”
Maude Julien, The Only Girl in the World

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“I cannot emphasize enough how wrongheaded this is. Withholding criticism and ignoring differences are racism in its purest form. Yet these cultural experts fail to notice that, through their anxious avoidance of criticizing non-Western countries, they trap the people who represent these cultures in a state of backwardness. The experts may have the best of intentions, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam
