Meg Jay
“Uncertainty can be your friend, and friends aren’t just people we put up with. We have adventures with them. We throw our arms around them. Our lives are better because they’re a part of them. The same is true for unknowns.”
Meg Jay, The Twentysomething Treatment: A Revolutionary Remedy for an Uncertain Age

Emily Oster
“relationship between breastfeeding and education, income, and other variables is a problem for research. Having more education and more resources is linked to better outcomes for infants and children, even independent of breastfeeding.”
Emily Oster, Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool

Harvey Karp
“Mothers are great heroes! When it comes to making babies, we men chip in a sperm while our wives essentially pull a dog sled from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico.”
Harvey Karp, The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block 2-Book Bundle

Dean Koontz
“If truth matters at all, then you must act when you learn the undeniable truth of a great evil that has been committed. Inaction in the face of such hard knowledge is at best cowardice; at worst, it’s a rejection of the value of truth, an admission that you prefer a life of lies in spite of the horrors that metastasize from the compounding deceits.”
Dean Koontz, The Lost Soul of the City

J.D. Vance
“don’t know what the answer is, precisely, but I know it starts when we stop blaming Obama or Bush or faceless companies and ask ourselves what we can do to make things better.”
J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis
