  1. “My Mother, Marian, showed me how to think for myself and to use my voice. [… My parents] helped me see the value in our story, in my story, in the larger story of our country. Even when it’s not pretty or perfect. Even when it’s more real than you want it to be. Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own.”

    – Michelle Obama, BECOMING ✍️ 📖

  2. “So you banned all those books, Sadie said, and the teacher had blinked twice at her over her glasses. Oh no, sweetie, she said. People think that sometimes, but no. No one bans anything.

    ― Celeste Ng, "Our Missing Hearts"

  4. Ersetze "Postminister" durch "Manager" und "Zustellung" durch "Produkt oder Dienstleistung", und es passt wie die Faust aufs Auge für die großen Konzerne. =>

    „Unter #Rationalisierung verstehen die meisten Postminister, dass man die Gebühren laufend erhöht und die Zustellung ständig verschlechtert.“

    ―Cyril Northcote Parkinson
