Richard Powers
“To be human is to confuse a satisfying story with a meaningful one, and to mistake life for something huge with two legs. No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Richard Powers
“Love is a tree with branches in forever with roots in eternity and a trunk nowhere at all”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Barbara Kingsolver
“God hates us," I said.

"Don't blame God for what ants have to do. We all get hungry. Congolese people are not so different from Congolese ants."

"They have to swarm over a village and eat other people alive?"

"When they are pushed down long enough they will rise up. If they bite you, they are trying to fix things in the only way they know.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

Barbara Kingsolver
“I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life-insurance policy or a life sentence.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

André Aciman
“Cor cordium, heart of hearts, I’ve never said anything truer in my life to anyone.”
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
