Barack Obama
“Each person held aloft a single lit candle—the city’s traditional way to express its appreciation for that year’s peace prize winner. It was a magical sight, as if a pool of stars had descended from the sky; and as Michelle and I leaned out to wave, the night air brisk on our cheeks, the crowd cheering wildly, I couldn’t help but think about the daily fighting that continued to consume Iraq and Afghanistan and all the cruelty and suffering and injustice that my administration had barely even begun to deal with. The idea that I, or any one person, could bring order to such chaos seemed laughable; on some level, the crowds below were cheering an illusion. And yet, in the flickering of those candles, I saw something else. I saw an expression of the spirit of millions of people around the world: the U.S. soldier manning a post in Kandahar, the mother in Iran teaching her daughter to read, the Russian pro-democracy activist mustering his courage for an upcoming demonstration—all those who refused to give up on the idea that life could be better, and that whatever the risks and hardships, they had a role to play.

Whatever you do won’t be enough, I heard their voices say.

Try anyway.”
Barack Obama, A Promised Land

“Fear was when you wandered into a cellar and worried that the door would close shut. Despair was when the door closed and locked behind you.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Enthusiasm makes up for a host of deficiencies.”
Barack Obama, A Promised Land

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Hope,’ he said. ‘Damn thing never leaves you alone.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

“If God hates your guts, he grants you your deepest wish’?”
