Dan Rather
“We often hear about how we need to be more tolerant: to make room for people, ideas, and actions with which we may not agree. This is a prerequisite for a functional democracy. But tolerance alone is not sufficient; it allows us to accept others without engaging with them, to feel smug and self-satisfied without challenging the boundaries within which too many of us live.”
Dan Rather, What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism

J.D. Vance
“A good friend...once told me, "The best way to look at this might be to recognize that you probably can't fix these things. They'll always be around. But maybe you can put your thumb on the scale a little for the people at the margins" (238).”
J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

Dan Rather
“It is important not to confuse “patriotism” with “nationalism.” As I define it, nationalism is a monologue in which you place your country in a position of moral and cultural supremacy over others. Patriotism, while deeply personal, is a dialogue with your fellow citizens, and a larger world, about not only what you love about your country but also how it can be improved.”
Dan Rather, What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism

Tara Westover
“Whomever you become, whatever you make yourself into, that is who you always were.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“We don’t succeed or fail because of fortune or luck. We succeed because we understand the way the world works and what we have to do. We fail because others understand this better than we do.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
