Annie Dillard Quotes

That It's Rough Out There And Chancy Is No Surprise. Every Live Thing Is A Survivor On A Kind Of Extended Emergency Bivouac. But At The Same Time We Are Also Created. In The Koran, Allah Asks "the Heaven And The Earth, And All In Between, Thinkest Thou I Made Them In Jest?" It's A Good Question. What Do We Think Of The Created Universe, Spanning An Unthinkable Void With An Unthinkable Profusion Of Forms? Or What Do We Think Of Nothingness, Those Sickening Reaches Of Time In Either Direction? If The Giant Water Bug Was Not Made In Jest, Was It Then Made In Earnest?
