The industrial world destroys nature not because it doesnโt love it but because it is not afraid of it.
Mary RueflePeople, the people we really love, where did they come from? What did we do to deserve them?
Mary RuefleIn one sense, reading is a great waste of time. In another sense, it is a great extension of time, a way for one person to live a thousand and one lives in a single lifespan, to watch the great impersonal universe at work again and again That is why I read: I want everything to be okay. Thatโs why I read when I was a lonely kid and thatโs why I read now that Iโm a scared adult.
