  3. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    If, as Heraclitus suggests, god, like an oracle, neither "declares nor hides, but sets forth by signs," then clearly I had better be scrying the signs."

  4. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    It could be that God has absconded but spread, as our vision and understanding of the universe have spread, to a fabric of spirit and sense so grand and subtle, so powerful in a new way, that we can only feel blindly of its hem.

  5. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

  6. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    The gaps are the thing. The gaps are the spirit's one home, the altitudes and latitudes so dazzlingly spare and clean that the spirit can discover itself like a once-blind man unbound. The gaps are the clefts in the rock where you cower to see the back parts of God; they are fissures between mountains and cells the wind lances through, the icy narrowing fiords splitting the cliffs of mystery. Go up into the gaps. If you can find them; they shift and vanish too. Stalk the gaps. Squeak into a gap in the soil, turn, and unlock-more than a maple-universe.

  7. Annie Dillard _ Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    The universe that suckled us is a monster that does not care if we live or die--it does not care if it itself grinds to a halt. It is a beast running on chance and death, careening from nowhere to nowhere. It is fixed and blind, a robot programmed to kill. We are free and seeing; we can only try to outwit it at every turn to save our lives.

  8. J.D. Salinger _ A Girl I Knew

    The apartment below mine had the only balcony of the house. I saw a girl standing on it, completely submerged in the pool of autumn twilight. She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together."

  9. Anne Rice _ Blackwood Farm

    And books, they offer one hope -- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved.

  10. Melody Carlson _ Mexico

    Mostly I think I've learned to trust God more. I mean, if I start getting worried or freaked, I just try to put it in God's hands. Sometimes I imagine God cradling the globe in his hands, and I tell myself that as long as I'm with God, the Creator of the universe, I can be comfortable and at home anyplace on the planet.

  11. Ray Bradbury _ Fahrenheit 451

    The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

  12. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Everything Is Illuminated

    Mesa, adorno de marfil, arcoíris, cebolla, peinado, molusco, Sabbat, violencia, cutícula, melodrama, cuneta, miel, pañuelo... Nada la conmovía. {...} Nada conseguía ser más de lo que era en realidad. Eran solo cosas, prisioneras de su propia esencia.
