Music
- Lungs - Florence + the Machine
- The entire album, to be quite honest. The Dog Days Are Over was huge in shaping my decision to join Peace Corps.
- Sigh No More - Mumford & Sons
- Another one of those whole album deals. The Cave was equally huge in its influence on my life.
Books
- Siddhartha
- A beautiful book about living and evolving and the process of learning oneself from the world they live in.
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
- Live the life you've been given, hard times and all, and make it beautiful and true.
Quotes
- Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And Who holds the key that can set us free... It's You. You have all the weapons you need. Now Fight!
- Sucker Punch, 2011
- A ship in port is safe; but that is not what ships are built for. Sail out to sea and do new things.
- Grace Hopper
