Wendell Berry
“A community is the mental and spiritual condition of knowing that the place is shared, and that the people who share the place define and limit the possibilities of each other's lives. It is the knowledge that people have of each other, their concern for each other, their trust in each other, the freedom with which they come and go among themselves.”
Wendell Berry

Annie Dillard
“We live in all we seek.”
Annie Dillard, For the Time Being: Essays

George Eliot
“If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Marilynne Robinson
“I am grateful for all those dark years, even though in retrospect they seem like a long, bitter prayer that was answered finally.”
Marilynne Robinson
