Having a child means being conscious of the clock, never being free of something that has to be done at a certain moment ahead.

“All that is really going in your mouth is texture and chemicals. It is your brain that reads these scentless, flavorless molecules and vivifies them for your pleasure. Your brownie is sheet music. It is your brain that makes it a symphony.”
Bill Bryson, The Body: A Guide for Occupants

Emily St. John Mandel
“Pandemics don’t approach like wars, with the distant thud of artillery growing louder every day and flashes of bombs on the horizon. The arrive in retrospect, essentially. It’s disorienting. The pandemic is far away and then it’s all around you with seemingly no intermediate step.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

Ibram X. Kendi
“Something was making poor people poor, according to this idea. And it was welfare. Welfare "transforms the individual from a dignified, industrious, self-reliant spiritual being into a dependent animal creature without his knowing it," U.S. senator Barry Goldwater wrote in The Conscience of the Conservative in 1960. Goldwater and his ideological descendants said little to nothing about rich White people who depended on the welfare of inheritances, tax cuts, government contracts, hookups, and bailouts.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Hernan Diaz
“God is the most uninteresting answer to the most interesting questions.”
Hernan Diaz, Trust

Kristin Hannah
“They passed a small dark-haired woman wearing spectacles who paced as she dictated to another woman, who was typing. “We cannot allow the rich to get richer while the poor get poorer. How can we call ourselves the land of the free when people are living on the streets and dying of hunger? Radical change requires radical methods…”
Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds
