"Work book club discussing part II today.

To me the biggest takeaway is the idea of strong yet fewer arguments if trying to win a debate - it runs counter to how the old LD debates were scored, where I'd lose points for every opposing point I didn't refute.

“And that can never be a mistake--to fly instead of staying in the nest with all the poop and everything that's in there.”
Pema Chödrön, Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better

Lawrence Durrell, Mountolive

“It's because I'm tired of being branded a terrorist; tired that a human life lost in my country is no loss at all.”

Zahra Hankir, Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World

Zahra Hankir
“Those sorts of stories accumulated until they formed an archetype: the tragic yet resilient Iraqi woman, a metaphor for the country itself. In hindsight, it seems so facile to see Iraqi women only through the prism of their war-ravaged lives, but how else do you report a story where pain is etched on the face of every woman you interview?”
Zahra Hankir, Our Women on the Ground: Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World
