“Water suddenly remembered their prior visit and questioned, “What was I saying when you left so abruptly? Oh yes, I was telling you that I was alive and sentient. I was going to explain to you that everything is alive. Everything is connected: you, me, the trees, the plants, the soil, and the rocks. Everything! Do you know how much of you is made up of me?”
Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

“The trees, in both Earth and Heaven, exist in the same form.”
Rebecca Harlem, The Pink Cadillac

Philip Gourevitch
“In discussions of us-against-them scenarios of popular violence, the fashion these days is to speak of mass hatred. But while hatred can be animating, it appeals to weakness. The ‘authors’ of the genocide, as Rwandans call them, understood that in order to make a huge number of weak people to do wrong, it is necessary to appeal to their desire for strength - and the gray force that really drives people is power. Hatred and power are both, in their different ways, passions. The difference is that hatred is purely negative, while power is essentially positive: you surrender to hatred, but you aspire to power.”
Philip Gourevitch, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families

“If there was one thing a former sniper could do well, it was wait. Patiently. Quietly. Without a sound. Barely a movement. Just him, a quiet mind and his breath.”
J. Rose Black, Losing My Breath

“Either give me more wine or leave me alone.”
Rumi
