Sarah Vowell
“Behind every bad law, a deep fear.”
Sarah Vowell, The Wordy Shipmates

David Rhodes
“We are not separate, and I want you to know that. We are all part of one thing, and nothing good has ever passed or ever can pass away. There is no way out, but there is a way in, and when one person feels lonely like a ghost it touches us all.”
David Rhodes, Driftless

Wendell Berry
“Beauty . . . cannot be interpreted. It is not an empirically verifiable fact; it is not a quantity.”
Wendell Berry, Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition

Malcolm Gladwell
“I want to convince you that these kinds of personal explanations of success don't work. People don't rise from nothing....It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn't.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

Wendell Berry
“To define knowledge as merely empirical is to limit one's ability to know; it enfeebles one's ability to feel and think.”
Wendell Berry, Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition
