Rachel Cusk
“As it happened, I was no longer interested in literature as a form of snobbery or even self-definition. I had no desire to prove that one book was better than another; in fact, if I read something I admired, I found myself increasingly disinclined to mention it at all. What I knew personally to be true had come to seem unrelated to the process of persuading others. I did not, any longer, want to persuade anyone of anything.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Wendell Berry
“But he learned what he had to, and he changed, and so he made himself exceptional.”
Wendell Berry, Fidelity: Five Stories

Wendell Berry
“She thought it strange and wonderful that she had been given all these to love She thought it a blessing that she had loved them to the limit of her grief at parting with them, and that grief had only deepened and clarified her love. Since her first grief had brought her fully to birth and wakefulness in this world, an unstinting compassion had moved in her, like a live stream flowing deep underground, by which she knew herself and other and the world. It was her truest self, that stream always astir inside her that was at once pity and love, knowledge and faith, forgiveness, grief, and joy. It made her fearful, and it made her unafraid.”
Wendell Berry, Fidelity: Five Stories

Daniel Nayeri
“To lose something you never had can be just as painful—because it is the hope of having it that you lose. The hope that in this world, there are magical fish who will give you advice and warning, when really, the future is unknowable and infinitely dangerous.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

Wendell Berry
“I have books to read, and much to sit and watch. I try not to let good things go by unnoticed.”
Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
