“She has taught me patience. And as someone who has made their living through words, she has made me consider the dignity and persuasiveness of silence.”

“I felt a new spirit of attentiveness to nature, no less wonderful for being entirely unoriginal, for as old as it is as a human experience, it was new to me.”

It is a point of connection with every other living thing, made up of the same kinds of particles, ruled by the same physical laws.”
