George Saunders Quotes

A Culture Capable Of Imagining Complexly Is A Humble Culture. It Acts, When It Has To Act, As Late In The Game As Possibl, And As Cautiously, Because It Knows Its Girth And The Tight Confines Of The China Shop It's Blundering Into. And It Knows That No Matter How Well Prepared It Is
No Matter How Ruthlessly It Has Held Its Projections Up To Intelligent Scrutiny
The Place It Is Headed For Is Going To Very Different From The Place It Imagined. The Shortfall Between The Imagined And The Real, Multiplied By The Violence Of One's Intent, Equals The Evil One Will Do.
