Additional quotes by Annie Dillard

"If you ask a twenty-one-year-old poet whose poetry he likes, he might say, unblushing, "Nobody's," In his youth, he has not yet understood that poets like poetry, and novelists like novels; he himself likes only the role, the thought of himself in a hat."

One turns at last even from glory itself with a sigh of relief.

Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed?
