Super-Infinite by Katherine Rundell
"Donne might be the person to turn to, if you desired to seek God but cannot leap into the infinite. He is the writer and preacher for those who make their way there in gestures, symbols, flickers, errors.

Quotes by Mere Rain  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Isabeau had never been afraid of the dark, but she was beginning to hate it, with a feeling that was more enmity than fear.”
― Mere Rain, In the Dark Heart of Winter

“I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary. I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.”
― Claes Oldenburg

“Words save our lives, sometimes.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Love is strange and calls us to stranger things.”
― Luke Hankins

“You cannot settle and be happy.”
― R. Cooper, Dancing Lessons

“If you haven’t facts make up with lyricism.”
― Anton Chekhov
