"In early 2011, 1.5 million households with roughly 3 million children were surviving on cash incomes of no more than $2 a person, per day in any given month. That's about one out of every 25 families with children in America. .... As of 2011, the number of families in $2-a-day poverty had more than doubled in just a decade an a half.

"I thought of all the people who had had worse things happen to them. People endured unspeakable cruelty. What they did was bear it. Some of them even found grace. In themselves. I suspected I could bear this,  too. But that didn't make the pain any less in the moment."

"It was difficult in the dark and once the fish surged away from the boat it pulled him down on his face and made a cut below his eye. The blood ran down his cheek a little way, but it coagulated and dried before it reached his chin and he worked his way back to the bow and rested aganist the wood."

"Day After Day, for days unending, Buck toiled in the traces. Always, they broke camp in the dark, and the first gray of dawn found them hitting the trail with fresh miles reeled off behind them. And always they pitched camp after dark, eating their bit of fish, and crawling to sleep in the snow. Buck was ravenous."

"It feels strange not to talk to my mom about something, someone, who's becoming so important to me. My mom and I are drifting apart, but not because we're spending less time together. And not because Olly is replacing her. We're drifting apart because for the first time in my life, I have a secret to keep.

"I've seen grown men burst into tears upon seeing me; I've had literally all of my clothes ripped off by souvenir-seeking fans after big games; I've been mobbed by screaming, sobbing women; supposedly, they once even declared a truce in a civil war in Africa so that I could play a game there."

" For John, flying was far more than a pastime, mmore than a hobby, it was an escape. When he flew commercial aircraft fellow passengers would ask questions, seek autographs, and exchange memories. John understood that they were people of goodwill, he could not bear to be impolite, but the benign interest of others was a burden. Once he got his flying license, he seemed a liberated man, free to travel as he wished without superflumous demands on time and energy."

Those who won our independence believed that the final end of the state was to make men free to develop their faculties; and that in its government the deliberative forces should prevail over the arbitrary. They valued liberty both as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth; that without free speech and assembly discussion would be futile; that with them, discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government." - Justice Louis Brandeis

I poured a cup of coffee from a pot that smelled like it had been brewing since last month.

"Now, having returned to France for the first time since being arrested and shipped to prison in Andorra, Silas could feel his homelahd testing him, dragging violent memories from his redeemed soul. You have been reborn, he reminded himself. His service to God today had required the sin of murder, and it was a sacrifice Silas knew he would have to hold silently in his heart for all eternity.
The measure of your faith is the measure of pain you can endure, the Teacher had told him, Silas was no stranger to pain and felt eager to prove himself to the Teacher, the one who had assured him his actions were ordained by a higher power. "

"Sometimes I think of my life as two train cars hitched together at the moment of my mother's disappearance--but when I try to see how they connect there's a jarring on the track that jerks my head back around. I know that I used to be a girl whose hair was strawberry blond, who ran around like a wild thing while my mother took endless notes about the elephants. Now I'm a kid who is too serious for her age and too smart for her own good. "

"While I did not believe this, my character, the good captain, did, and as the actor playing this role I had to sympathize with this man. But most actors spent more time with their masks off than on, whereas in my case it was the reverse. No surprise, then, that sometimes I dreamed of trying to pull a mask off my face, only to realize that the mask was my face."
