Inspiring Quotes for Sunday, May 18, 2025

 

Wisdom
A novel worth reading is an education of the heart.
~


While interviewing Susan Sontag for ¡°The Paris Review¡± in 1995, Edward Hirsch asked the writer and activist whether it was old-fashioned to think that the purpose of literature is to educate us about life. Sontag unequivocally confirmed that novels enlighten us. She went on to say, ¡°[Novels enlarge] your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world.¡± When we read a story, we experience, on an intellectual and emotional level, the successes and failures of the characters ¡ª and we learn empathy and understanding from their stories.

Inspiring Quotes for Saturday, May 17, 2025

 

Motivation

Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier.

~




During her tenure as First Lady from 1933 to 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt redefined the nation¡¯s idea of how the president¡¯s wife should pass her time. She called weekly press conferences with women journalists, personally wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column sharing her thoughts on the issues of the time, fought for civil rights, and sought to help refugees in the midst of World War II. In a time when wives, especially political wives, were meant to be quiet supporters of their husbands, she was a bold pioneer, leading by example to show all the good that women can do in the world.

Inspiring Quotes for Friday May 16, 2025

 

Love

True friendship withstands time, distance, and silence.

~




Chilean author Isabel Allende is one of the most widely read Spanish-language authors in the world, with a style that combines magical realism, personal experience, and historic events. She began her writing career translating Barbara Cartland novels into Spanish, while surreptitiously adding a few changes to make the female characters more intelligent (a practice that later got her fired). She was a TV personality for a while, wrote for a feminist magazine, worked for the United Nations, and fled Chile to Venezuela following dictator Augusto Pinochet¡¯s coup. She later moved to California, where she still lives and writes today. To say that she was well received in the U.S. would be an understatement: In 2014, Allende was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.?
