“This is the shadow of hope. Knowing that we may never see the realization of our dreams, and yet still showing up.”
Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness

“White people desperately want to believe that only the lonely, isolated “whites only” club members are racist. This is why the word racist offends “nice white people” so deeply. It challenges their self-identification as good people. Sadly, most white people are more worried about being called racist than about whether or not their actions are in fact racist or harmful.”
Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness

Steven Moffat
“We're all stories, in the end.”
Steven Moffat

Cassandra Clare
“The point of stories is not that they are objectively true, but that the soul of the story is truer than reality. Those who mock fiction do so because they fear the truth.”
Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold

Mohsin Hamid
“We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create.”
Mohsin Hamid, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia
