Eileen Cook
“Personally, I felt pretty safe. Librarians are like priests. You can tell them you want information on just about any subject and they never look at you weird. It's like a rule or something. I figured even in a small town like this, my question wouldn't be the strangest one the librarian had heard. I didn't know if librarians had any sort of official privacy code, but I was counting on confidence. They're not big talkers. It comes from being forced to be quiet all the time.”
Eileen Cook, Unraveling Isobel

Alice Walker
“Listen, God love everything you love - and a mess of stuff you don't. But more than anything. God loves admiration.

You saying God vain? I ast.

Naw, she say. Not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the colour purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Brian Selznick
“Time is supposed to move forwards.'

'What if I don't like what happens?'

'Then...you change it.”
Brian Selznick, The Marvels

Tyler Wigg-Stevenson
“Those who have aimed at utopia have often been the most effective at unleashing hell on earth.”
Tyler Wigg-Stevenson, The World Is Not Ours to Save: Finding the Freedom to Do Good

“Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.”
Mitchell Kapor
