Bob by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead

"...one thing can be lots of other things...people are like that, too.  Livy's not just Old Livy or New Livy, she's every age she's ever been, and sometimes they get jumbled, but they're all in there...All the things I choose to put in my head are what make me, me.  I plan to choose wisely."p. 199-200

"Keep moving toward what makes you feel most alive, Livy."  p. 201

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.
