Amor Towles
“...what matters in life is not whether we receive a round of applause; what matters is whether we have the courage to venture forth despite the uncertainty of acclaim.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“Embedded in this woman’s observation was an assumption that lives at the center of all bias: You are not like me. You are intrinsically different. And that difference deems you inferior.”
Cicely Tyson, Just As I Am

William Shakespeare
“Love's not love
When it is mingled with regards that stand
Aloof from th' entire point.”
William Shakespeare, King Lear

Sarah Manguso
“The trouble with letting people see you at your worst isn't that they'll remember; it's that you'll remember.”
Sarah Manguso, 300 Arguments: Essays

Toni Morrison
“Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye
