Immanuel Kant
“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.”
― Immanuel Kant, Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals/On a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns

Abraham Lincoln
“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”
― Abraham Lincoln

Tessa Shaffer
“You’ve got to trust yourself. Be gentle with yourself. And listen to yourself.

You’re the only person who can get you through this now.

You’re the only one who can survive your story, the only one who can write your future.

All you’ve got to do, when you’re ready, is stand up,
{and begin again.}”
― Tessa Shaffer, Heaven Has No Regrets

Albert Einstein
“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”
― Albert Einstein

Italo Calvino
“what matters is not the enclosure of the work within a harmonious figure, but the centrifugal force produced by it -- a plurality of language as a guarantee of a truth that is not merely partial.”
― Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium
