“There are a few times in life when you leap up and the past that you'd been standing on falls away behind you, and the future you mean to land on is not yet in place, and for a moment you're suspended knowing nothing and no one, not even yourself.”
Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

“My daily challenge to myself is to be part of the solution, to be a joyful warrior in the battle to come. My challenge to you is to join that effort. To stand up for our ideals and our values. Let's not throw up our hands when it's time to roll up our sleeves. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

Years from now, our children and our grandchildren will look up and lock eyes with us. They will ask us where we were when the stakes were so high. They will ask us what it was like. I don't want us to just tell them how we felt. I want us to tell them what we did.”
Kamala Harris, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

Alan Paton
“But there is only one thing that has power completely, and this is love. Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.”
Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

“But when you can’t sleep at night, how can you dream?”
Kamala Harris, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

Tae Keller
“Sometimes, no matter how much you want people to stay, you have to let them go.”
Tae Keller, When You Trap a Tiger
