“In his Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan...
writes "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, loved out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader', every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”
Jamil Zaki, The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World

“Worried about me, my queen?” I rolled my eyes. “Only that you’d die and I wouldn’t get to spit on your grave.”
Devney Perry, Shield of Sparrows

Johanna Lindsey
“If you two are finished, my daughter would like to be born now, Warrick, and not out here on the battlements.' Both men just stared at her in bemusement, so she added with a lot more volume, 'Now, Warrick!" and got better results. Panic, actually. Verily, men were ofttimes useless...”
Johanna Lindsey, Prisoner of My Desire

“Well? Well? What do you wait for? Can you not see my warrior requires assistance ere he will stand at attention for you? Come and play with him, wife.”

That tiny thing was supposed to be a warrior?”
Johanna Lindsey, Prisoner of My Desire

“The Stoic philosopher Epictetus believed that emotions were a product of thinking. "It is not events that disturb people," he wrote. "It is their judgments concerning them." This was an empowering view, because it meant by changing how we think, we could change our feelings as well.”
Jamil Zaki, The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World
