Danez Smith
“history is what it is. it knows what it did.”
Danez Smith

Yaa Gyasi
“The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t even know the questions we need to ask in order to find out, but when we learn one tiny little thing, a dim light comes on in a dark hallway, and suddenly a new question appears. We spend decades, centuries, millennia, trying to answer that one question so that another dim light will come on. That’s science, but that’s also everything else, isn’t it? Try. Experiment. Ask a ton of questions.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

Richard Powers
“What you make from a tree should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

John Steinbeck
“So many scholars have spent so much time trying to establish whether Arthur ever existed at all that they have lost track of the single truth that he exists over and over.”
John Steinbeck, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“She had written something that felt like I could have written it, except I knew I couldn't have. I wouldn't have come up with something like that. Which is what we all want from art, isn’t it? When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It’s like they are introducing you to a part of yourself.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
