“Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.”

 -Immanuel Kant, in  Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose

  • "A man's emotions are what define him, and control is the hallmark of true strength. To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child."
    -Dalinar in Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings
  • "We like to think that we value individuality, but all too often we admire one type of individual,"
    --Susan Cain in Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking
  • "Yet the most important thing we can do to improve our future is the most personal: to extend a sense of grace and tolerance toward the people who disagree with us or who are different from us in some way-even those who attack us. This sense of forgive ness starts with each of us."
     Andrew Yang, Forward
