Masha Gessen
“It all fit. The love of power, the focus on Russia to the exclusion of the rest of the world—with an exception made perhaps only for a Napoleon or a Hitler, whose power trumped even their enemy status but who were made relevant by the fact that they had invaded Russia—this and other survey results added up to a totalitarian mind-set. The only consideration that gave Gudkov pause was what seemed like an utter lack of a concept of the future. He had been taught that totalitarianism presupposed the image of a glorious future. But as he researched both Communist and Nazi ideologies, he came to the conclusion that the appeal of the rhetoric in both cases lay in archaic, primitive images: a simple society, a world of “us,” a tribe. Fromm, in fact, rejected the very idea of an image of the future in Nazi ideology and stressed the “worship of the past.”
Masha Gessen, The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia

Annie Kotowicz
“There are many people who like me, and many people who don’t. For most of my life, I figured that one group was wrong, but I could never be certain which one. Either I was likable, and some people just didn’t know me well enough to see it, or I was unlikable, and some people were just patient with me.”
Annie Kotowicz, What I Mean When I Say I'm Autistic: Unpuzzling a Life on the Autism Spectrum

“What if some man wanted to tell me how many feet from a dwelling a cesspool needed to be? What if he wanted to talk about the pros and cons of raising the mortgage rate? What if he wanted to talk about his childhood? Or worse, mine!”
Abigail Thomas, What Comes Next and How to Like It

Donald Miller
“Relationships are teleological. They’re all going somewhere and they’re turning us into something, hopefully something better, something new.”
Donald Miller, Scary Close: Dropping the Act and Acquiring a Taste for True Intimacy

“No one ever tells good-looking dudes when they talk too fucking much.”
Samantha Irby, We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.
