Amor Towles
“As a quick aside, let me observe that in moments of high emotion....if the next thing you're going to say makes you feel better, then it's probably the wrong thing to say. This is one of the finer maxims that I've discovered in life. And you can have it, since it's been of no use to me.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility

“If we only fell in love with people who were perfect for us...then there wouldn't be so much fuss about love in the first place.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility

“I know that right choices by definition are the means by which life crystallizes loss.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility

Melinda French Gates
“Every society says its outsiders are the problem. But the outsiders are not the problem; the urge to create outsiders is the problem. Overcoming that urge is our greatest challenge and our greatest promise. It will take courage and insight, because the people we push to the margins are the ones who trigger in us the feelings we're afraid of.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Oliver Burkeman
“[Life] is a dance, and when you are dancing, you are not intent on getting somewhere. The meaning and purpose of dancing is the dance.”
Oliver Burkeman, The Antidote: Happiness For People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking
