Quotes by Daniel Levin Becker (?)

“Potential literature is what we might call language in the hands of a crafty reader, the way potential music is sound to a crafty listener. Reading, no matter what you're reading, presupposes a belief in the potential of the text - to speak to you, enlighten you, stir your imagination or temporarily distract you - just as living, if it is to have any sense, presupposes a belief in the potential of your life. [...] To live your life craftily, whether you read it as a labyrinth or a puzzle or simply a long combinatorial succession of evenings and mornings, is to move through it with the purpose and the security that come from knowing you hold the tools to give it shape and meaning.”
― Daniel Levin Becker, Many Subtle Channels: In Praise of Potential Literature
