Annie Dillard

"The painter... does not fit the paints to the world. He most certainly does not fit the world to himself. He fits himself to the paint. The self is the servant who bears the paintbox and its inherited contents."

"Every book has an intrinsic impossibility, which its writer discovers as soon as his first excitement dwindles."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Annie Dillard

"You can't test courage cautiously."

Courage

Quote_1.png
Annie Dillard
"It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator, our very self-consciousness, is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution."

"Love so sprang at her, she honestly thought no one had ever looked into it. Where was it in literature? Someone would have written something. She must not have recognized it. Time to read everything again."

Love

Quote_1.png
Annie Dillard
"In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world's rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned."

Philosophy

Annie Dillard
"The writer studies literature, not the world. He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write."
