“All I hope to say in books, all that I ever hope to say, is that I love the world.”
― E.B. White

“I did not tell you that it would be okay, because I have never believed it would be okay. What I told you is what your grandparents tried to tell me: that this is your country, that this is your world, that this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
― Turkish Proverbs

“Put your hand on your heart,'
the old man said.
'Inside you, there is a power,
there are ideas,
thought that no one has ever thought of,
there is the strength to love,
purely and intensely,
and to have someone love you back -
there is the power to make people happy,
and to make people laugh -
it's full compliments,
and the power to change lives and futures.
Don't forget that power,
and don't ever give up on it.”
― Atticus Poetry
