“The value of education is not that you are better than others, it's that you're better than the you that doesn't have education. If the only value you see in education is "can be used to get a better job" you are valuing jobs -- not productivity or wealth or wellbeing but the mere existence of employment -- over almost everything else. You're welcome to do that, but it's choice you're making, not some fundamental truth about the universe, and other people aren't wrong for disagreeing. For most of human history education existed and jobs did not, and there's a least some chance that will be true again in the future...”

“Miracles only happen when y' have done all you can, not before. Ye can ask for them, but ye might not get. But sometimes ye do. Sometimes they come without askin'. Oftentimes they can be explained by natural happenings, which perhaps they are, though timed just right. Above all, they are rare. Now mark me! There's one name for the man who claims to do miracles regularly, and that name is liar. Run from such a man.”
― Russell Kirkpatrick, Across the Face of the World

“There are times in life when we feel so very alive that when they pass, we feel … diminished. When that happens, we’ll do almost anything to feel so alive again.”
