Susan Orlean
“It wasn't that time stopped in the library. It was as if it were captured, collected here, and in all libraries -- and not only my time, my life, but all human time as well. In the library, time is dammed up--not just stopped but saved.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Mark Doty
“To think through things, that is the still life painter’s work - and the poet’s. Both sorts of artists require a tangible vocabulary, a worldly lexicon. A language of ideas is, in itself, a phantom language, lacking in the substance of worldly things, those containers of feeling and experience, memory and time. We are instructed by the objects that come to speak with us, those material presences. Why should we have been born knowing how to love the world. We require, again and again, these demonstrations. (p10)”
Mark Doty, Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and Intimacy

Charlie Lovett
“If you mail a rare stamp it becomes worthless. If you drink a rare bottle of wine, you're left with some recycling. But if you read a rare book it's still there, it's still valuable, and it's achieved the full measure of it's being. A book is to read, whether it's worth five pounds or five thousand pounds”
Charlie Lovett, First Impressions: A Novel of Old Books, Unexpected Love, and Jane Austen

Douglas Wilson
“Be at peace with being lousy for a while. Chesterton once said that anything worth doing was worth doing badly. He was right. Only an insufferable egoist expects to be brilliant first time out.”
Douglas Wilson, Wordsmithy: Hot Tips for the Writing Life

“The sensual and spiritual are the same energy playing at different speeds, like poetry and dance" Alla Bozarth Campbell.”
