"i am quite obsessed with this book, and i have learned so much in such a short span of time. not done yet, but wow. i love media that is educational, digestible, straight-forward, honest, inspiring, and eye-opening. it's not just all doom and gloom, which i think a lot of educational books can struggle to get things right. honing in on the education of death and destruction, with minimal to no aftercare or solutions." — Feb 18, 2024 12:51AM

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
