"So bizarre in how it's both wise and juvenile. I feel like I'm nodding in total agreement of what young Noah says most of the time about the world, and then I'm totally confused/alarmed/repulsed when he acts out against Jude. Then again, it is a book centred around sibling rivalry ... Particularly of the twin sort ..." Mar 30, 2017 06:12AM

Marilynne Robinson
“Because, once alone, it is impossible to believe that one could ever have been otherwise. Loneliness is an absolute discovery.”
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

Marilynne Robinson
“To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing -- the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.”
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

E.L. Konigsburg
“Some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up and touch everything. If you never let that happen, then you just accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you.”
E. L. Konigsburg

Blue Balliett
“The greatest art belongs to the world. Do not be intimidated by the experts. Trust your instincts. Do not be afraid to go against what you were taught, or what you were told to see or believe. Every person, every set of eyes, has the right to the truth.”
Blue Balliett, Chasing Vermeer
tags: art, truth

E.L. Konigsburg
“Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place, but there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.”
E.L. Konigsburg, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
