“Years later, on Instagram, I’d read a meme that read, “Why were we taught to fear the witches instead of the men who burned them?” And who were witches, anyway, but women with knowledge, skills, and names?”
Tia Levings, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy

“That’s People-Pleasing 101,” she said. “If you’re only saying yes so they’ll like you then you’re abandoning yourself and operating from a place of shame and extremely low self-worth.”
Tia Levings, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy

“Why were we taught to fear the witches instead of the men who burned them?” And who were witches, anyway, but women with knowledge, skills, and names?”

“In working-class France, when an apprentice got hurt, or when he got tired, the experienced workers said "It is the trade entering his body.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“Out of a human population on earth of four and a half billion, perhaps twenty people can write a book in a year. Some people lift cars, too. Some people enter week-long sled-dog races, go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, fly planes through the Arc de Triomphe. Some people feel no pain in childbirth. Some people eat cars. There is no call to take human extremes as norms.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“I cannot imagine a sorrier pursuit than struggling for years to write a book that attempts to appeal to people who do not read in the first place.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
