Mary Church Terrell
“While most girls run away from home to marry, I ran away to teach.”
Mary Church Terrell

“The single most important key to success is to be a good listener.”
Kelly Wearstler

Paulette Jiles
“No, seventy-two. He had just turned seventy-two on March 15, yesterday, as he had turned sixteen just before Horseshoe Bend and at that time it would have been beyond belief that he would even live to see this age, much less be traveling along a distant road far to the west, still in one piece, alive and unaccountably happy.”
Paulette Jiles, News of the World

Jean Rhys
“When man don't love you, more you try, more he hate you, man like that. If you love them they treat you bad, if you don't love them they after you night and day bothering your soul case out. I hear about you and your husband,' she said.
'But I cannot go. He is my husband after all.'
She spat over her shoulder. 'All women, all colours, nothing but fools. Three children I have. One living in this world, each one a different father, but no husband, I thank my God. I keep my money. I don't give it to no worthless man.'
'When must I go, where must I go?'
'But look me trouble, a rich white girl like you and more foolish than the rest. A man don't treat you good, pick up your skirt and walk out. Do it and he come after you.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Holly Black
“It is my belief that books are living things.... And as living things, they need to be protected.”
