Criss Jami
“Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Emily Giffin
“No, scratch the word "career." Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck. ”
Emily Giffin, Something Borrowed
