“In their choice of lovers both the male and the female reveal their essential nature. The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart.

A skilled naturalist, by filing these materials, can reconstruct the oceanic depths from which they have been uprooted.”

Because one important thing that can be learned by reading slowly is the seemingly obvious but oddly underappreciated fact that language is the medium we use in much the same way a composer uses notes, the way a painter uses paint. I realize it may seem obvious, but it’s surprising how easily we lose sight of the fact that words are the raw material out of which literature is crafted.”
