“Out of a human population on earth of four and a half billion, perhaps twenty people can write a book in a year. Some people lift cars, too. Some people enter week-long sled-dog races, go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, fly planes through the Arc de Triomphe. Some people feel no pain in childbirth. Some people eat cars. There is no call to take human extremes as norms.”

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
― Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on the water.”
