Wendell Berry
“Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.”
wendell berry

“People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.”
Amy Poehler, Yes Please

Norton Juster
“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

Terry Tempest Williams
“Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a whisper.”
Terry Tempest Williams, When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice

Margaret Atwood
“I'm working on my own life story. I don't mean I'm putting it together; no, I'm taking it apart.”
Margaret Atwood, The Tent
