From Ernest Hemingway's interview in The Paris Review, Spring 1958
I loathe routine. I find pleasure in the uncertainty of not knowing what the next day will bring. Ergo, I have multiple projects running at the same time, so I can switch from one to the other depending on what catches my fancy on the day. I like to derive pleasure from each activity, to wrestle not with the pressure of keeping up with a routine but untying the knots of a concept or a project I ha

of
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West:
"“I thought God intended us to live,” Standing Bear told Crook, “but I was mistaken. God intends to give the country to the white people, and we are to die. It may be well; it may be well.”
- Standing Bear, quoted in Dee Brown's 'Bury My Heart at Wound" Read more of this review » |

“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.”

“But I am not the sea nor the red sun,
I am not the wind with girlish laughter,
Not the immense wind which strengthens, not the wind which lashes,
Not the spirit that ever lashes its own body to terror and death,
But I am that which unseen comes and sings, sings, sings,
Which babbles in brooks and scoots in showers on the land,
Which the birds know in the woods mornings and evenings,
And the shore-sands know and the hissing wave, and that banner and pennant,
Aloft there flapping and flapping.”
