“Imagine you’re standing on an island, looking at water on all sides. You think that this little piece of real estate, which represents your capacity for love, is all there is. Then you have your first child, and a bubbling happens off in the distance and a giant new island appears. You realize that the new island was part of your heart all along, just submerged. And then you think you could never love another child like this one, but you look off to the left, and a brand-new island appears: your second child. And your heart expands even more. You’re not borrowing from or shutting down other parts to feel more love. It’s an additive process, like reclaiming land from the sea.”
Scott Harrison, Thirst

“People always ask how we scored so many wins early on and what my process was for turning a no into a yes. Truthfully, the nos stayed nos most of the time. No, we don’t have the budget. No, that’s not a part of our giving strategy. No, sorry, but touch base with me next year. But I simply asked so many people that eventually I gathered enough yeses to get things done.”
Scott Harrison, Thirst

“Back in 2009, Vik and I started working on mycharity: water, a social fundraising website, while sitting at the round kitchen table in Michael and Xochi’s five-story San Francisco home. It was one of those uneven wooden farm tables where if you push too hard, your pencil pokes through the paper.”
Scott Harrison, Thirst
