Elysa’s Notes & Highlights

Have We Met? by Camille Baker

2 highlights

ridiculous to buy into a system that defines some jobs as failures. In truth, every job needs to be done by someone. It’s the system that’s the failure—one that places the most respect in jobs that don’t truly need to be done.

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
