“The book you don’t read won’t help.” - Jim Rohn (Berkeley, 2014)

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop” – Rumi (Berkeley, 2010?)

"I had eventually come to understand that friendship was a delicate, gradual process that mustn’t be rushed or seized upon but allowed and encouraged to take its course over time." - Daniel Tammet (Washington D.C., 1995)

"The reason cats climb is so that they can look down on almost every other animal — it's also the reason they hate birds." - K.C. Buffington (Orinda, 2015)

"If there is one spot of sun spilling onto the floor, a cat will find it and soak it up." - J.A. McIntosh (Orinda, 2015)

"And the city roared with surprised and delight, after we'd bowed our heads and upturned our hands in an act of capitulation. We were now asked to surrender to hope and ideals, realized as we tracked the gait of the first African American President Elect as he sauntered towards the podium. He docks his hands on the wooden incline and stations his mouth behind the microphone. His jaw drops and our eyes blaze with fire, awaiting his first words." - Christina Slack (UC Berkeley campus, 11/4/2008)

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.” - Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper (Berkeley, CA 2011)

"And once there was laughter. It is so easy to forget moments when one loses time, space, and any burden of being alive." - Christina Slack (Berkeley, 2010)
