“I truly believe that attention is the most sacred resource that we have to spend on this planet, and books are perhaps the last places where we spend this resource freely, and where it means the most.”

Tess Gunty, The Rabbit Hutch

“In life, time runs together in its sameness, but in fiction time is condensed—one action springboards into another, greater action.

Cause and effect are so much clearer in novels than they are in life.

You might not see how everything threads together as you read along, but when you look back from the end of the story, the map becomes clear.”

Ann Patchett, These Precious Days
