John Updike
"The essential support and encouragement comes from within, arising out of the mad notion that your society needs to know what only you can tell it."

Society

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"They've not forgotten him: worse, they never heard of him."

Obscurity

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"She had willed herself open to him and knew that the chemistry of love was all within her, her doing. Even his power to wound her with neglect was a power she had created and granted ..."

Love

Anticipation

John Updike
"People go around mourning the death of God; it's the death of sssin that bothers me. Without ssin, people aren't people any more, they're just ssoul-less sheep."

Sin

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"In fiction, imaginary people become realer to us than any named celebrity glimpsed in a series of rumored events, whose causes and subtler ramifications must remain in the dark. An invented figure like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary emerges fully into the light of understanding, which brings with it identification, sympathy and pity."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home, wondering why the hell you went."

Life

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"The mind cannot fall asleep as long as it watches itself. Only when the mind moves unwatched and becomes absorbed in images that tug it as it were to one side does self-consciousness dissolve and sleep with its healing, brilliantly detailed fictions pour in upon the jittery spirit. Falling asleep is a study in trust. Likewise, religion tries to put as ease with the world. Being human cannot be borne alone. We need other presences. We need soft night noises-a mother speaking downstairs. We need the little clicks and sighs of a sustaining otherness. We need the gods."

Trust

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"I was made to feel I could do things. If you get this feeling early and can hold it until you're 15, you tend to never lose it."

Confidence

Quote_1.png
John Updike
"Suddenly summoned to witness something great and horrendous, we keep fighting not to reduce it to our own smallness."

Humility
