“Hope operates as a capability in that it is something that allows us to achieve what we care about, what we are meant to do in the world. A little bit of hope can allow people to realize their potential. It’s also a particular kind of capability that allows us to create other capabilities. Hopelessness ends the ability to invest in one’s future, in oneself.”
— Esther Duflo, in her Tanner lecture on human values, “Hope as Capability” on May 3, 2012

The page where some of this pretty stuff once lived is right here. The photos and art are usually reblogged; the quotes are from my interviews or things I'm reading.
