Richard Powers
“But people have no idea what time is. They think it’s a line, spinning out from three seconds behind them, then vanishing just as fast into the three seconds of fog just ahead. They can’t see that time is one spreading ring wrapped around another, outward and outward until the thinnest skin of Now depends for its being on the enormous mass of everything that has already died.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Jennifer Egan
“But knowing everything is too much like knowing nothing; without a story, it’s all just information.”
Jennifer Egan, The Candy House

Daniel J. Boorstin
“The more readily we make household names and the more numerous they become, the less are they worthy of our admiration... We can make a celebrity, but we can never make a hero. In a now-almost-forgotten sense, all heroes are self-made.”
Daniel J. Boorstin, The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America

Jennifer Egan
“The need for personal glory is like cigarette addiction: a habit that feels life-sustaining even as it kills you.”
Jennifer Egan, The Candy House

Jennifer Egan
“Mysteries that are destroyed by measurement were never truly mysterious; only our ignorance made them seem so.”
Jennifer Egan, The Candy House
