Chang-rae Lee
“We feel ever obliged by everday charges and tasks. They conscript us more and more. We find world enough in a frame. Until at last we take our places at the wheel, or wall, or line, having somewhere forgotten that we can look up.”
Chang-rae Lee, On Such a Full Sea

Richard Powers
“Music forecasts the past, recalls the future. Now and then the difference falls away, and in one simple gift of circling sound, the ear solves the scrambled cryptogram. One abiding rhythm, present and always, and you’re free.”
Richard Powers, Orfeo

Arundhati Roy
“It's odd how those who dismiss the peace movement as Utopian proffer the most absurdly dreamy reasons for war.”
Arundhati Roy, An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire

Jenny Offill
“What Rilke said: Surely all art is the result of one’s having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, to where no one can go any further.
Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

Chang-rae Lee
“We have hopes and make plans, and if they are dashed or waylaid, we naturally rationalize and redraw the map to locate ourselves anew. Or else we brood and too firmly root. Very few can step forward again and again in what amounts to veritable leaps into the void, where there are no ready holds, where little is familiar, where you get constantly stuck in the thickets of your uncertainties and fears.”
Chang-rae Lee, On Such a Full Sea
