Marilynne Robinson Quotes

I Love The Writers Of My Thousand Books. It Pleases Me To Think How Astonished Old Homer, Whoever He Was, Would Be To Find His Epics On The Shelf Of Such An Unimaginable Being As Myself, In The Middle Of An Unrumored Continent. I Love The Large Minority Of The Writers On My Shelves Who Have Struggled With Words And Thoughts And, By My Lights, Have Lost The Struggle. All Together They Are My Community, The Creators Of The Very Idea Of Books, Poetry, And Extended Narratives, And Of The Amazing Human Conversation That Has Taken Place Across The Millennia, Through Weal And Woe, Over The Heads Of Interest And Utility.
