"So I'm reading this, apparently. I hope it's good, it's really long. It's interesting so far, but it's got this personality where you don't know if it gets better than all this exposition of a happening. If it's 800 pages of this, I just think I might not care who dunnit or who really is murdered, or whatever. Lots going on with these people, hard to sus out." Jun 27, 2024 02:10PM

Barbara Kingsolver
“I needed no snake to tell me I didn't belong in that family or house, or life. I was the tree of knowledge.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

Christopher Isherwood
“Meanwhile, Ruskin has completely lost his wig.”
Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

Brit Bennett
“She wanted this baby and that was the difference: magic you wanted was a miracle, magic you didn't want was a haunting.”
Brit Bennett, The Mothers

Kevin Birmingham
“He believed that touching the limits of human experience was something he shared with the Prophet Muhammad, who was also reputedly epileptic. Dostoevsky’s Prince Myshkin notes that Muhammad’s ecstasy took the form of a mythical white creature who whisked the prophet away “to survey all the dwellings of Allah” in the split second it took a jug of water to spill to the ground. That experience, Prince Myshkin says, is how he first grasped the biblical verse “time shall be no more.” Dostoevsky was describing an “ecstatic aura,” a phenomenon that researchers now realize affects some people with temporal lobe epilepsy.”
Kevin Birmingham, The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired a Masterpiece
