This jazz had not wiped its feet; it crunched right into the room with gravel on its shoes.

Luis Alberto Urrea
“If you were born to be a nail, you cannot curse the hammer.”
Luis Alberto Urrea, The Hummingbird's Daughter

Michael Finkel
“He was confounded by the idea that passing the prime of your life in a cubicle, spending hours a day at a computer, in exchange for money, was considered acceptable, but relaxing in a tent in the woods was disturbed. Observing the trees was indolent; cutting them down was enterprising. What did Knight do for a living? He lived for a living. Knight”
Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

Sofía Segovia
“He was anxious to reach the end of his long journey. And he arrived, concentrating on swinging his sharp blade like a pendulum, hypnotized by the rhythm, cutting his way through the thickest bushes without being able to see past the thorny branch in front of him, and the next, and then the next, and then the next, until suddenly there were no more: just his bees’ treasure. And his bees were there, waiting for him. You’re here. You’re here, they said to him, buzzing around him. Look. Touch. Smell. Here. Take it. Take it.”
Sofía Segovia, El murmullo de las abejas

Donna Tartt
“A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“Eli Lilly had decided not to sell in Japan in the 80's because of a lack of demand, but with the introduction of the new diagnosis kokoro no kaze (which translates to "your soul has a cold"), mild depression became a "real" illness, treatable with medication.”
Margee Kerr
