“It's very limiting to us as a species, the concept of better-than/less-than. It just seems to be at its end. I'm like, this all fades to black, and it's gone. It's dust. Choose carefully what you obsess about.” EndsSeemsBlackGoneConceptsSpeciesDustFades Author:Meshell Ndegeocello
“We were never organized readers who would see a book through to its end in any sory of logical order. We weave in and out of words like tourists on a hop-on, hop-off bus tour.

We are indiscriminate.” BookEndsMightOrderInterestGoneReturnReaderEqualKitchenOrganizedHopsLogicalBusReplacedBathroomSisterTourists Author:Eleanor Brown
“Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I'm aware that I'm writing. I'm aware of my surroundings.

“Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. War itself is not the objective; victory is not the objective; you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. If you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.” IfsWayWarEndsCertainFightingGoneVictoryGainsForgottenObjectivesRemoveObstruction Author:Jawaharlal Nehru
