Cal Newport
“Solitude Deprivation A state in which you spend close to zero time alone with your own thoughts and free from input from other minds.”
Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

Michelle Obama
“I didn't want them ever to believe that life began when the man of the house arrived home. We didn't wait for Dad. It was his job now to catch up with us.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Melinda French Gates
“I’ve never held the view that women are better than men, or that the best way to improve the world is for women to gain more power than men. I think male dominance is harmful to society because any dominance is harmful: It means society is governed by a false hierarchy where power and opportunity are awarded according to gender, age, wealth, and privilege—not according to skill, effort, talent, or accomplishments. When a culture of dominance is broken, it activates power in all of us. So the goal for me is not the rise of women and the fall of man. It is the rise of both women and men from a struggle for dominance to a state of partnership.
If the goal is partnership between women and men, why do I put so much emphasis on women’s empowerment and women’s groups? My answer is that we draw strength from each other, and we often have to convince ourselves that we deserve an equal partnership before we get one.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Melinda French Gates
“…contraceptives are the greatest life-saving, poverty-ending, women-empowering innovation ever created.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Michelle Obama
“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful—a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids—and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming
