Laini Taylor
“He read while he walked. He read while he ate. The other librarians suspected he somehow read while he slept, or perhaps didn't sleep at all.”
Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

Emily St. John Mandel
“Of all of them there at the bar that night, the bartender was the one who survived the longest. He died three weeks later on the road out of the city.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

“Your feet may be small,
but travel much.
Your hands may be little,
but conquer much.
Your eyes may be tiny,
but perceive much.
Your ears may be modest,
but heed much.

Your head may be small,
but think much.
Your heart may be little,
but give much.
Your soul may be tiny,
but love much.
Your life may be modest,
but impact much.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

Oscar Wilde
“My duty to myself is to amuse myself terrifically.”
Oscar Wilde, Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast

“If they hate your race,
pardon them.
If they hate your religion,
enlighten them.
If they hate your gender,
admonish them.
If they hate your class,
avoid them.
If they hate your politics,
debate them.

If they hate your culture,
question them.
If they hate your tribe,
confront them.
If they hate your ancestry,
defy them.
If they hate your age,
outshine them.
If they hate your appearance,
disregard them.

If they love you for your knowledge,
teach them.
If they love you for your wisdom,
counsel them.
If they love you for your understanding,
instruct them.
If they love you for your intuition,
guide them.
If they love you for your excellence,
inspire them.

If they love you for your humility,
honor them.
If they love you for your compassion,
welcome them.
If they love you for your honesty,
value them.
If they love you for your kindness,
treasure them.
If they love you for your virtue,
cherish them.”
Matshona Dhliwayo
