Annie Dillard Quotes

I Suppose It Is The Teeming Evidence That Birth And Growth, Which We Value, Are Ubiquitous And Blind, That Life Itself Is So Astonshingly Cheap, That Nature Is As Careless As It Is Bountiful, And That With Extravagence Goes A Crushing Waste That Will One Day Include Our Own Cheap Lives, Henle's Loops And All. Every Glistening Egg Is A Memento Mori.
