Todd Henry
“If assumptions weren't challenged, innovation would cease.”
Todd Henry, The Accidental Creative: How to Be Brilliant at a Moment's Notice

Anthony Esolen
“the phrase “stay-at-home mom” is patronizing and faintly derogatory, like “stick-in-the-mud mom” or “sit-in-the-corner mom.” Do we talk about a “chained-to-the-desk mom” or a “stuck-in-traffic mom” or a “languishing-in-meetings mom”?”
Anthony M. Esolen, Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Edward Hirsch
“I don't think that we should underestimate the capacity of tenderness that poetry opens within us.”
Edward Hirsch, How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry

Anthony Esolen
“The lie rushes in to fill up the void left by the truth in retreat. When people lose their faith in God, for example, they do not believe in nothing. It is as Chesterton said, they will believe in anything, usually the nearest and biggest thing, the gross power of the state to solve their problems.”
Anthony Esolen
