Hernan Diaz
“Some people are exceptionally clear eyed. To them, nothing is ever too complex or mysterious. Answers invisible to most are in plain sight to these enlightened few. Their approach to the world is elementary and, without fail, right. They see through false complications and find the simple truths of life. Mildred was blessed with this lucidity.”
Hernan Diaz, Trust

Elise Bryant
“A lot of the pride I felt was overshadowed by guilt, and I’ve since poured over so many studies about how gifted programs mainly benefit white and wealthy students— not because they’re smarter, just because the whole goddamn system is rigged to their benefit.”
Elise Bryant
