“We live our lives surrounded by the darkness... I want to try to be a light for others.”
Kay O'Neill, The Moth Keeper

Timothy J. Keller
“we should respect the poor as persons, expect to learn from them rather than thinking we can simply fix them like a mechanical object.”
Timothy J. Keller, God's Wisdom for Navigating Life: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Book of Proverbs

Iain Cameron Williams
“A man who plants a tree could never be called a pessimist.”
Iain Cameron Williams, The KAHNS of Fifth Avenue

John Sandford
“grew up with guns and I needed them. Most people don’t. All these high-capacity guns flashed by the nutcakes? They’re a disaster. If I had my way, there’d be no guns but single-shot hunting rifles and single-shot shotguns. You could do all the target shooting you want with those. You could hunt to your heart’s content. Of course, you’d actually have to learn how to hunt or how to hit a target, and most of those dimwits don’t want to be bothered.”
John Sandford, The Investigator

Evan Osnos
“Over the centuries, Americans have tacked between sanctifying the individual and celebrating community, between self-interest and social obligation, between the imagined ideals of the lone cowboy on the frontier and of the wagon train that relies on mutual aid. Alexis de Tocqueville took note of that tension and saw their coexistence as an American talent, which he called “self-interest rightly understood.”
Evan Osnos, Wildland: The Making of America's Fury
