Anthony Doerr
“Read a verse of Homer and you can walk the walls of Troy alongside Hector; fall into a paragraph by Fitzgerald and your Now entangles with Gatsby’s Now; open a 1953 book by Ray Bradbury and go hunting T. rexes. Ursula Le Guin said: “Story is our only boat for sailing on the river of time,” and she’s right, of course. The shelves of every library in the world brim with time machines. Step into one, and off you go.”
Anthony Doerr, author of “All the Light We Cannot See”

R.C. Lewis
“Just because you don't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. The stars are always there.”
R.C. Lewis, Spinning Starlight

George Wier
“There is no greater thrill in life than to find that you are not only useful, but that you can help, and that your help matters.”
George Wier, The Last Call

Graeme Rodaughan
“Never give up on your friends. Never give up your faith in them. It's when everything is worse than you could ever imagine it could be, that you'll need your friends the most.”
Graeme Rodaughan, The Dragon's Den

Zaman Ali
“Books have the power to create, destroy or change civilizations.”
Zaman Ali, HUMANITY Understanding Reality and Inquiring Good
