The book it reminded me of most is Henry Millerโs The Books in My Life. Like Miller, Shields manages to convey his affection for and admiration of literature, and that, the enthusiasm and admiration, can revitalize the readerโs love for the art form. Iโm grateful for How Literature Saved My Life because the book has made me think again โ and for the first time in a while โ 'Well, what is it we do when we read?' Itโs a damned annoying question, but it needs to be asked now and then, and Shields has asked it in a way I find resonant and moving.

This is the most acceptable outcome there could have been".

Julia Gardiner TylerBeing a part of a band is easier to brainstorm, and it's fun - you're encouraged and inspired by the others. In this band, it's especially that way for me, because they're my favorite musicians - they've been my favorite musicians for so long, and I get to play with them now.

It's really challenging.
Brendan BensonGorbachev's administration was amazingly politically naรฏve, inexperienced and irresponsible towards the country. It was not governance but a thoughtless renunciation of power.

To be of a quick and healthy blood, to share in all honorable curiosities, to be rich in admiration and free from envy, to rejoice greatly in the good of others, to love with such generosity of heart that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness-these are the gifts of fortune which money cannot buy, and without which money can buy nothing.
Robert Louis StevensonThe noblest calling in the world is motherhood. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece, or who can write a book that will influence millions, deserve the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will exert influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have decayed or been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God.

Katharine HepburnStyle begins with the people passing through oneโs life, the harbingers we push against and the stylemakers we want to clone. Some are famous, some not. Style grows from admiration, from longing, from discriminationโand, yes, from love. Itโs all the places youโve been to and the people and the moments youโve known: the parts youโve adopted, to keep forever, and transformed. We wear our history in our hearts and on our backs.
