Samantha Harvey
“The planet is shaped by the sheer amazing force of human want, which has changed everything, the forests, the poles, the reservoirs, the glaciers, the rivers, the seas, the mountains, the coastlines, the skies, a planet contoured and landscaped by want.”
Samantha Harvey, Orbital

Wendell Berry
“This is zero,
the elementary poverty
of all that ever was born,
in which nothing lives by chance
but only by choosing to

Wendell Berry, The Country of Marriage

“Joy is the enhancement of happiness through knowledge. We as booksellers have more of an opportunity to spread that joy through the books we present and those we find meaningful.”
Paul Yamazaki, Reading the Room: A Bookseller's Tale

Alejandro Zambra
“Why would you want to be with someone if they didn’t change your life?”
Alejandro Zambra, Bonsai

Emma Pattee
“Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.”
Emma Pattee, Tilt
