Rebecca Solnit
“Vengeance and forgiveness are about reconciling the accounts, but accounting is an ugly description of the tangled ways we're connected. I sometimes think everything comes out even in the end, but an end that arches beyond the horizon, beyond our capacity to perceive or measure, and that in many cases those who trespass against you do so out of a misery that means the punishment preceded and even precipitated the crime. Maybe that's acceptance.”
Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby

Maurice Sendak
“A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.”
Maurice Sendak

Rebecca Solnit
“Stories like yours and worse than yours are all around, and your suffering won’t mark you out as special, though your response to it might.”
Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby

“Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.”
Hazel Rochman

Rebecca Solnit
“Reading is also traveling, with the eyes along the length of an idea, which can be folded up into the compressed space of a book and unfolded within your imagination and your understanding.”
Rebecca Solnit, The Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness
