Additional quotes by Annie Dillard

She reads books as one would breathe air to fill up and live.

Admire the world for never ending on you — as you would an opponent, without taking your eyes away from him, or walking away.

You can serve or you can sing, and wreck your heart in prayer, working the world's hard work. - Annie Dillard
