Maggie Downs
“When the road stretches long and dark and ragged, it’s sweetness that remains at the end of it.”
Maggie Downs, Braver Than You Think: Around the World on the Trip of My (Mother’s) Lifetime

Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
“He's a black man in this world," Major has scolded me. "You got him used to sweetness when life gon' be tart.”
Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, The Revisioners

Devi S. Laskar
“Never mind that she’s been hearing this soliloquy from strangers since she was born, in the Year of the Fire Horse, twin sixes after the nineteen. Never mind the order of questions invariably changes even if the questions themselves do not: 'How long have y’all lived here? Do you even speak English? Oh, well. Your English is so good. Bless your heart, you must miss your people. You stick out like a raisin in a big bowl of oatmeal. Is it true that you worship cows? . . . Have you even heard of the Bible? Don’t get all uppity on me, don’t turn away. I know you think you don’t have to listen. But this is my country. You do. When are y’all heading back? Y’all best be getting back to where you came from, you hear? No need to overstay your welcome.”
Devi S. Laskar, The Atlas of Reds and Blues

“If we treat our forests right, we can at least ameliorate the declines in forest extent and diversity and the consequent impoverishment of the aesthetic, economic, climatic, and spiritual benefits we count on from them.”
Daniel Mathews, Trees in Trouble: Wildfires, Infestations, and Climate Change

“In an era of fake news, and the filter bubble, [Gen Z is] also more likely to be able to push through the noise. . . Not only are they able to consume more information than any group before, they have also become accustomed to cutting through it. They are perhaps the most brand-critical, bullshit-repellent, questioning group around and will call out any behavior they dislike on social media. (Little wonder brands are quaking in their boots.)”
Lucie Greene
