“If you don’t teach that dog to sit, she’s going to die!” said the tall bearded man in blue jeans standing next to me. He pointed at the ground, bent down to get in Belvy’s face, and bellowed at her, “SIT!!” To my astonishment, Belvy sat. She didn’t just sit, she pounded her butt into the pavement, and looked up at the man wagging her tail.
The man was in my face now. “See? It’s not mean, it’s clear.” The light changed, and the man strode across the street, leaving me with words to live by.”

“To readers, those books—the ones we buy and borrow and trade and sell—are more than objects. They are opportunities beckoning us. When we read, we connect with them (or don’t) in a personal way.”

“اغلب تنها نوشتن فاصله بین
تو و ناممکن است
نه مشروب
نه عشق زنان
نه پول
همتایش نیستند
جز نوشتن چیزی نجاتت نمیدهد
دیوارها را در برابر هجوم مغولان استوار نگه میدارد
تاریکی را نورانی میکند
نوشتن آخرین روانپزشک است
مهربانترین خدا بین تمام خدایان است
نوشتن مرگ را میتاراند، ترکت نمیکند
و نوشتن میخندد
بر خودش
بر رنج
آخرین توقع است
آخرین تفسیر
نوشتن تمام اینهاست”
