Brian Selznick

Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Warsan Shire
“It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.”
Warsan Shire

Criss Jami
“You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Warsan Shire

even ‘hello’ sounds like ‘come here'.”
Warsan Shire

Annie Dillard
“In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world's rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned.”
Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters
