Gabrielle Zevin
“But I can tell you that the people who give you charity are never your friends. It is not possible to receive charity from a friend.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Chad Harbach

Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

John Hodgman
“Wine, on the other hand, is like religion: it’s mysterious, sometimes literally opaque, and there are too many kinds of it. You never really know if a particular wine is good or bad; you just have to take it on faith from some judgy wine priest, an initiate to its mysteries.

John Hodgman, Vacationland: True Stories from Painful Beaches

Fredrik Backman
“people will always choose a simple lie over a complicated truth, because the lie has one unbeatable advantage: the truth always has to stick to what actually happened, whereas the lie just has to be easy to believe.”
Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

Jodi Picoult
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. —BENJAMIN FRANKLIN”
Jodi Picoult, Small Great Things
