Hank Green
“You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce. It is not the only thing you will make, nor should it be, but it is something valuable and beautiful.”
Hank Green, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor

Hank Green
“Knowing something is a bad idea does not always decrease the odds that you will do it.”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

Lulu Miller
“When I give up the fish, I get, at long last, that thing I had been searching for: a mantra, a trick, a prescription for hope. I get the promise that there are good things in store. Not because I deserve them. Not because I worked for them. But because they are as much a part of Chaos as destruction and loss. Life, the flip side of death. Growth, of rot.”
Lulu Miller, Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Sadness and joy aren't opposites of each other. They are each the opposite of indifference.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

Lulu Miller
“I have come to believe that it is our life's work to tear down this order, to keep tugging at it, trying to unravel it, to set free the organisms trapped underneath. That it is our life's work work to mistrust our measures. Especially those about moral and mental standing. To remember that behind every ruler there is a Ruler. To remember that a category is at best a proxy; at worst, a shackle.”
Lulu Miller, Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life
