BEAN TREESB Y B A R B A R A K I N G S O LV E R
“In a world as wrong as this one, all we can do is make things as right
as we can.”
“There were two things about Mama. One is she always expected the
best out of me. And the other is that then no matter what I did,
whatever I came home with, she acted like it was the moon I had just
hung up in the sky and plugged in all the stars. Like I was that good.”
“I had decided early on that if I couldn’t dress elegant, I’d dress
memorable.”
“It's terrible to lose somebody, but it's also true that some people
never have anybody to lose, and I think that's got to be so much
worse.”
THE POISONWOOD BIBLEB Y B A R B A R A K I N G S O LV E R
“Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in
the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good,
bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be
lucky.”
“Listen. Slide the weight from your shoulders and move forward.
You are afraid you might forget, but you never will. You will forgive
and remember.”
“Everything you're sure is right can be wrong in another place. ”
“I’ve seen how you can’t learn anything when you’re trying to
look like the smartest person in the room.”
TRASHB Y A N D Y M U L L I G A N
"With the right key you can bust the door wide open. Because
nobody's going to open it for you."
"I learned perhaps more than any university could ever teach me. I
learned that the world revolves around money. There are values and
virtues and morals; there are relationships and trust and love---and all
of that is important. Money, however, is more important and it is
dripping all the time, like precious water. Some drink deep; others
thirst. Without money, you shrivel and die. The absence of money is
drought in which nothing can grow. Nobody knows the value of water
until they've lived in a dry, dry place---like Behala. So many people,
waiting for the rain."
NAVY SEAL DOGSB Y M I K E R I T L A N D
Trident K9 Warriors gave readers an inside look at

“And workers who needed to go to the bathroom weren't allowed to
take a break. They were forced to pee right on the slaughterhouse
floor, near meat that people would soon be eating.”
FROM THE AUTHOR…
“The United States now has more prison inmates than full-time
farmers.”
“Twenty years ago, teenage boys in the United States drank twice as
much milk as soda; now they drink twice as much soda as milk.”

“It's not the changes that will break your heart; it's that
tug of familiarity.”
“Who would have guessed that four minutes could
change everything?”
“Is it possible not to ever know your type-not to even
know you have a type-until quite suddenly you do?”
“There’s always a gap between the burn and the sting
of it, the pain and the realization.”
