“I would like to live as I should, as the weasel lives as he should: open to time and death painlessly, noticing everything, remembering nothing, choosing the given with a fierce and pointed will.” - Annie Dillard

Annie Dillard on writing: “Spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Don’t hoard what seems good for a later place in the book; give it, give it all, give it now. <…> Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you.“
