“There are a thousand things to hear about, informationally, daily, but the thing that doesn't go away is the one to pay attention to.”
Antonya Nelson

“Birdy never felt artistic inclination when armed with a marking implement. What came to her were words, always words, commentary and criticism and correction and simple vocabulary curios; she scratched a few of them on the smooth red wall.”
Antonya Nelson, Nobody's Girl: A Novel

“Our mother had faith in literature the way others had faith in God or America; she put herself in its hands the way patients did their physicians; she prescribed it, she preached it.”
Antonya Nelson, Nothing Right
