Marilynne Robinson
“She put her arm around my shoulder and squeezed me. She whispered, "It's not the worst thing, Ruthie, drifting. You'll see. You'll see.”
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

“It all means more than I can tell you. So you must not judge what I know by what I find words for.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Marilynne Robinson
“Memory can make a thing seem to have been much more than it was.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Marilynne Robinson
“Love is holy because it is like grace--the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Marilynne Robinson
“I wish I could leave you certain of the images in my mind, because they are so beautiful that I hate to think they will be extinguished when I am. Well, but again, this life has its own mortal loveliness. And memory is not strictly mortal in its nature, either. It is a strange thing, after all, to be able to return to a moment, when it can hardly be said to have any reality at all, even in its passing. A moment is such a slight thing. I mean, that its abiding is a most gracious reprieve.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
