“If you don't like my story, write your own.”

“Suddenly it occurred to me that maybe the point of writing wasn't just to record something past but also to prolong the present, like in One Thousand and One Nights, to stretch out the time until the next thing happened.”

“Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.”

“Everyone deserved a living wage. No human ought to be treated as if their work didn’t matter, or their choices, or their dreams.”

“Of course you belong here — if you want to. That's for you to decide, not the world”

“Without love and trust, resentment is the only thing that’s left.”
