"Three or four thousand years of collected information on how to live a life with reason, and eventually, wisdom. You ask it real questions, you get real answers — and they’ll smack you in the mouth."

"I love it. It’s so weird. It’s like what happens to me when I sit on a log and stare at the water too long. I love that one. I’m giving you strange answers, aren’t I?"

"I read and write to find answers and Lorde never fails to give me the wisdom I need. I am not a religious person, but reading this collection always leaves me stronger, nurtured and praising the Lorde."

"I opened this book seeking answers about the relationships between creativity, vulnerability, and courage. I didn’t expect it to profoundly change the way I work. This is one of the most important leadership books of our time"

"I read it early on and I got it early on. It’s…. still one of my favorite books. It shows how humans tend to forget the reason they wanted to do this life in the first place or why they had a revolution in the first place. [It’s] just as relevant today as it was when I read it as a 12-year-old. I never drank the Kool-Aid. I always looked for answers below the surface or hidden answers to life’s questions, so that book resonated, especially because it was a parable."
