Additional quotes by John Updike

I like middles. . . It is in middles that extremes clash, where ambiguity restlessly rules.

Let us not mock God with metaphor,
Analogy, sidestepping, transcendence;
Making of the event a parable, a sign painted in the
Faded credulity of earlier ages:
Let us walk through the door.

How sad, how strange, we make companions out of air and hurt them, so they will defy us, completing creation.
