James Conaway, Nose: A Novel
“Everywhere I travel in America, I encounter a deep sense of loss; Americans have come to believe that growth and entitlement matter more than health and happiness in a country that, paradoxically, diminishes in prospect and comity even as it grows richer. The gap between ideals and means gets larger while access to public institutions--and public land--essential to our identity becomes more difficult.”
James Conaway, Vanishing America: In Pursuit of Our Elusive Landscapes
“The point of business was to make just enough money to keep going, not to create a monster of productivity that chained a person to the wheels of power and stifled all creativity and imagination. Business should not be profit-driven; it should be idea-driven.”
James Conaway, Napa: The Story of an American Eden
“No more calamities... I don't want you to stop trying to save the world, Cotton. But I don't want you to expect to save it, either.”
James Conaway, Nose
