Rodney  Smith
“The cause of our suffering is not what we do, but the way we perceive.”
Rodney Smith, Stepping Out of Self-Deception: The Buddha's Liberating Teaching of No-Self

Saeed Jones
“I’ve lined my throat
with the river bottom’s best
silt,

allowed my fingers to shrivel
and be taken for crawfish.

I’ve laced my eyelashes with algae.

I blink emerald.
I blink sea glass green.

I am whatever gleams
just under the surface.

Scoop at my sparkle. I’ll give you nothing
but disturbed reflection.

Bring your ear to the water
and I’ll sing you

down into my arms.

Let me show you how

to make your lungs
a home for minnows, how

to let them flicker

like silver

in and out of your mouth
like last words,

like air.”
saeed jones, When the Only Light Is Fire

Louise Erdrich
“When a baby falls asleep in your arms you are absolved. The purest creature alive has chosen you. There’s nothing else.”
Louise Erdrich, The Sentence

Gabriel García Márquez
“He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Neil Gaiman
“Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.”
Neil Gaiman
