Colson Whitehead
“You can change the law but you can’t change people and how they treat each other.”
Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Jenny  Lawson
“It’s weird because we often try to present our fake, shiny, happy selves to others and make sure we’re not wearing too-obvious pajamas at the grocery store, but really, who wants to see that level of fraud? No one. What we really want is to know we’re not alone in our terribleness. We want to appreciate the failure that makes us perfectly us and wonderfully relatable to every other person out there who is also pretending that they have their shit together and didn’t just eat that onion ring that fell on the floor. Human foibles are what make us us, and the art of mortification is what brings us all together.”
Jenny Lawson, Broken

“When you find yourself in dark places, there's always a light somewhere in that darkness, and even if that light is inside of you, you can illuminate your own darkness by shedding that light on the world.”
Yusef Salaam, Punching the Air

Hank Green
“We are each individuals, but the far greater thing is what we are together, and if that isn't protected and cherished, we are headed to a bad place.”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

“Justice is what love sounds like when it speaks in public.”
Michael Eric Dyson, Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America
