Book cover for Whistleblower: My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber
My blog post was picked up by almost every major media outlet within half an hour, and those first thirty minutes were the calm before the storm. Right after I’d published the blog post, I shared a link to it on Twitter. I watched as it was ...more

Ray Bradbury
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Chuck Palahniuk
“you're a product just as much. a product of a product. the people who design cars, they're products, your teachers, products. the minister in your church, another product.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“There are plenty of good reasons for fighting...but no good reason to ever hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive....it's that part of an imbecile that punishes and vilifies and makes war gladly.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Ted Chiang
“Women who work with animals hear this all the time: that their love for animals must arise out of a sublimated child-rearing urge. Ana's tired of the stereotype. She likes children just fine, but they're not the standard against which all other accomplishments should be measured. Caring for animals is worthwhile in and of itself, a vocation that need offer no apologies.”
Ted Chiang, The Lifecycle of Software Objects

James A. Garfield
“There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They have the gift of kindness or courage or loyalty or integrity. It really matters very little whether they are behind the wheel of a truck or running a business or bringing up a family. The teach the truth by living it.”
James A. Garfield
