Richard Powers
“I tell him, people very stupid. They forget everything—where they come from, where they go. I say: Don't worry. Human being leaving this world, very soon. Then the bear get top bunk to himself again.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Richard Powers
“To be human is to confuse a satisfying story with a meaningful one, and to mistake life for something huge with two legs. No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Richard Powers
“Soon his eyes close on their own accord, and he's swept back into sleep, that nightly place of plantlike deliverance.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Haruki Murakami
“A bit of shape and form has disappeared from the world, increasing the amount of nothingness.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Richard Powers
“Civilized yards are all alike. Every wild yard is wild in its own way.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory
