Raymond Carver
“I'm not a frivolous man, nor am I, in my opinion, a serious man. It's my belief a man has to be a little of both these days. I believe, too, in the value of ahrd work-the harder the better. A man who isn't working has got too much time on his hands, too much time to dwell on himself and his problems.”
Raymond Carver, Collected Stories

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
“The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience. The felt necessities of the time, the prevalent moral and political theories, intuitions of public policy, avowed or unconscious, even the prejudices which judges share with their fellow-men, have had a good deal more to do than the syllogism in determining the rules by which men should be governed.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., The Common Law

Elamin Abdelmahmoud
“It is a profound, transformative gift to have someone see you as you’d like to be seen, even if you don’t see yourself that way.”
Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces

Elamin Abdelmahmoud
“What I am trying to say is: it is possible to reform your idea of yourself. It's the only real inner work there is–going back and revisiting your horrors, and holding yourself accountable and moving forward.”
Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces

Elamin Abdelmahmoud
“Love is a practice, a trail you carve out by traveling the same path over and over and over until it becomes familiar, until it lights the way home.”
Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces
