Other Quotes by Annie Dillard

Ecstasy, i think, is a soul's response to the waves holiness makes as it nears. Annie Dillard
Why do you never find anything written about that idiosyncratic thought you advert to, about your fascination with something no one else understands? Because it is up to you. There is something you find interesting, for a reason hard to explain. It is hard to explain because you have never read it on any page; there you begin. You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment. Annie Dillard
Many writers do little else but sit in small rooms recalling the real world. Annie Dillard
It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave. Annie Dillard
Fiction keeps its audience by retaining the world as its subject matter. People like the world. Many people actually prefer it to art and spend their days by choice in the thick of it. Annie Dillard
Poetry has been able to function quite directly as human interpretation of the raw, loose universe. It is a mixture, if you will, of journalism and metaphysics, or of science and religion. Annie Dillard
A schedule defends from chaos and whim. A net for catching days. Annie Dillard
The courage of children and beasts is a function of innocence. Annie Dillard
The novel is a game or joke shared between author and reader. Annie Dillard
In literary history, generation follows generation in a rage. Annie Dillard
Write about winter in the summer. Annie Dillard
The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less. Annie Dillard
We sleep to time's hurdy-gurdy; we wake, if ever we wake, to the silence of god. And then, when we wake to the deep shores of time uncreated, then when the dazzling dark breaks over the far slopes of time, then it's time to toss things, like our reason, and our will; then it's time to break our necks for home. There are no events but thoughts and the heart's hard turning, the heart's slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times. Annie Dillard
There must be bands of enthusiasts for everything on earth-fanatics who shared a vocabulary, a batch of technical skills and equipment, and, perhaps, a vision of some single slice of the beauty and mystery of things, of their complexity, fascination, and unexpectedness. Annie Dillard
Push it. Examine all things intensely and relentlessly. Annie Dillard
At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, now i am ready. Now i will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening. Annie Dillard
The world knew you before you knew the world. Annie Dillard
Johnston's books are beautifully written and among the funniest i have ever read. Annie Dillard
I still try to keep my eyes open. I'm always on the lookout for antlion traps in sandy soil, monarch pupae near milkweed, skipper larvae in locust leaves. These things are utterly common, and i've not seen one Annie Dillard
Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow; you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall. Annie Dillard
Theirs is the mystery of continuous creation and all that providence implies: the uncertainty of vision, the horror of the fixed, the dissolution of the present, the intricacy of beauty, the pressure of fecundity, the elusiveness of the free, and the flawed nature of perfection. Annie Dillard
The real and proper question is: why is it beautiful? Annie Dillard
A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all. Annie Dillard
People who take photographs during their whole vacation won't remember their vacation. They'll only remember what photographs they took. Annie Dillard
