Quotes: Erika Cramer

"Most people aren't jealous of the things you have, or even the way you look. It's always the energy. Your aura. Your electricity. The vibe you emit. It shakes them up and awakens dormant frequencies that remind them they can be better but choose not to. You got them shook, keep going." 

–– Erika Cramer, American public speaker, author, podcaster, coach

Quotes: Eula Biss

"In the August humidity, I feel a rising euphoria. I recognize this as the aura that precedes the work of writing, like the aura that precedes a seizure or a migraine. An idea is hovering before me, spectral and electric. The idea is just slightly out of reach and I will spend hours at my desk before I can grasp it, before I can work it on the page." 

–– Eula Biss (b. 1977), American non-fiction writer and professor
