Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson
"I recently watched the Apple TV+ drama about Benjamin Franklin, which made me want to learn more about him. 📺

I was always curious why he appeared on the US $100 bill. 💵

Quotes by Píaras Ó Cíonnaoíth  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)
“You pushed me down to the depths of my sorrow until I thought I wouldn’t see the light of day again. You expected me to drown, didn’t you? To be left there for an eternity, waiting for your hand to pull me out? What you didn’t stop to realize is that I live in the shadows, thrive even. When I pull myself from the darkness, I’ll be stronger for it and you’ll regret leaving me for dead.”
Kayla Krantz, When Night Falls: A Collection of Short Stories and Poems

“I want to feel the rush of death, the high of utter nothingness, the fragility of my own mortality. Let it slip through my fingers like sand and when it's gone for good, I'll be none the wiser.”
Kayla Krantz, When Night Falls: A Collection of Short Stories and Poems

“Sometimes love and chaos are the same thing.”
Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor

“I yearn for empty thoughts and silence in my head. For someone to sit down beside me, to hold my hand and take away the cold sting of loneliness that creeps under my skin like an English winter.”
Malia Zaidi, A Poisonous Journey

“No, emptiness is not nothingness. Emptiness is a type of existence. You must use this existential emptiness to fill yourself.”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem
