Barbara Kingsolver
“At the time, I thought my life couldn’t get any worse. Here’s some advice: Don’t ever think that.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

Barbara Kingsolver
“I said probably they were just scared he was going to put ideas in our heads. She smiled. “Imagine that. A teacher, putting ideas in kids’ heads.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

Abraham   Verghese
“To be listened to is healing,”
Abraham Verghese, The Covenant of Water

Richard Powers
“My son loved the library. He loved putting books on hold online and having them waiting, bundled up with his name, when he came for them. He loved the benevolence that the stacks held out, their map of the known world. He loved the all-you-can-eat buffet of borrowing. He loved the lending histories stamped into the front of each book, the record of strangers who checked them out before him. The library was the best dungeon crawl imaginable: free loot for the finding, combined with the joy of leveling up.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

Richard Powers
“There are four good things worth practicing. Being kind toward everything alive. Staying level and steady. Feeling happy for any creature anywhere that is happy. And remembering that any suffering is also yours.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment
