“No moral code or ethical principle, no piece of scripture or holy teaching, can be summoned to defend what we have allowed our country to become.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

“Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Tim O'Brien
“A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.”
Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

John L. Parker, Once a Runner

“You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving.”
