"The POV style of this book is fascinating. It's not like the usual second person POV that I've seen in other writings, which is definitely a good thing, so it doesn't have a choose-your-own-adventure feel. I'm desperate to know more about the narrator and the man he is speaking to." Sep 14, 2019 02:49PM

Albert Camus
“It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.”
Albert Camus, Neither Victims Nor Executioners

Sandi Lynn
“Because at some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life and this is my way of keeping you in my heart.”
Sandi Lynn, Forever Black

Noor Shirazie
“If flowers can teach themselves how to bloom after winter passes, so can you.”
Noor Shirazie

Martin Luther King Jr.
“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. ... A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“In Shoshone, there's a saying. It's a long one, and it doesn't have an English equivalent, so bear with me.

Sutummu tukummuinna. It means, I don't speak your language, and you don't speak mine. But I still understand you. I don't need to walk in your footsteps if I can see the footprints you left behind.”
Rose Christo, Why the Star Stands Still
