Ahimsa by Supriya Kelkar

"This fight for independence is on two fronts, inside and out.  We must continue to protest the British and their unfair rules.  And we must improve our society from within.  What good is a free India when its people do not consider their brothers and sisters as equals?  Social reform and civil disobedience must go hand in hand."  p. 83

"Do not ever let someone scare you out of doing what is right."  p. 191

Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover

"You are not fool's gold, shining only under a particular light.  Whomever you become, whatever you make yourself into, that is who you always were.  It was always in you."  [quoting Dr. Kerry of BYU] p. 242 "To admit uncertainty is to admit weakness, to powerlessness, and to believe in yourself despite both...In this frailty there is strength: the conviction to live in your own mind, and not someone else's.  I have often wondered if the most powerful words I wrote that night [were] I don't know.  I just don't know.  Not knowing for certain, but refusing to give way to those who claim certainty, was a privilege I had never allowed myself."  p. 197 *It was interesting to see how the author's experiences affected her life and her faith.  It helps me remember to try not to judge because I have no idea what people have gone through and why they do some of the things they do.
