Book cover for What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism

“You can't fix someone who is determined to stay broken.”
Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures

Katharine Hayhoe
“We often believe that “if we just tell people the facts, since people are basically rational beings, they’ll all reach the right conclusions,” cognitive linguist George Lakoff explains. But that’s not the way we humans think. Instead, we think in what he calls “frames.” Frames are cognitive structures that determine how we see the world. When we encounter facts that don’t fit our frame, it’s the frame that stays while “the facts are either ignored, dismissed, [or] ridiculed.”
Katharine Hayhoe, Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World

“The light flows in every direction. It is composed of many minds, many eyes. It is one creature, and it is many. An awareness that grows and deepens. An intelligence that is made to join and join and join. This is how life began; this is how it goes on living.”
Lily Brooks-Dalton, The Light Pirate

T. Kingfisher
“People do frown on monstrous evil,” said Halla. “Not nearly often enough if you ask me,” Sarkis said.”
T. Kingfisher, Swordheart

“A good marriage is one where both parties feel that they got the better deal,”
T. Kingfisher, Swordheart
