“And when it is suggested that the inward feelings of power or inward monitions or losses of judgement are the germs out of which the divine machinery developed, I return that truth is just the reverse, that the presence of voices which had to be obeyed were the absolute prerequisite to the conscious stage of mind in which it is the self that is responsible and can debate within itself, can order and direct, and that the creation of such a self is the product of culture. In a sense, we have become our own gods.” MindSelfFeelingsOrderCultureVoiceLossStageCreationDivineProductsReturnTruth IsConsciousDirectAbsolutesResponsibleDebateJudgementReverseInwardMachineryGermsPrerequisites Author:Julian Jaynes
“Gospel ministers should not only be like dials on watches, or mile-stones upon the road, but like clocks and larums, to sound the alarm to sinners. Aaron wore bells as well as pomegranates, and the prophets were commanded to lift up their voice like a trumpet.

“Never far from a dining table, the characters in Heather A. Slomski's limpid and elegant debut collection are not given to melodramatics. Civility reigns, voices are not raised, much goes unsaid. But just beneath the sophisticated composure are longing, loss, heartbreak. And how intensely familiar is the table itself, which made this reader suddenly understand how much of our real life takes place there. Heather A. Slomski is truly a fresh voice on the scene, and The Lovers Set Down Their Spoons is that rare thing, a new book as innovative in its design as it is compulsively readable.” MadeBookRealCharacterGivenVoiceLossDesignReaderLoversSceneTablesLongingRaisedReal LifeFamiliarCollectionsSophisticatedReignElegantInnovativeCivilitySpoonsDiningNew BooksDebutUnsaidComposureRare ThingsHeathersDining Table Author:Jaimy Gordon

“I want characters to have voices that feel authentic, unique, honest, fresh and original - all at once. Part of that authenticity is evoking genuine emotion across life - the sadness, passion, love, sense of loss, missed opportunities, and confusion even.

“Remember that every government service, every offer of government - financed security, is paid for in the loss of personal freedom...

“I think," Tehanu said in her soft, strange voice, "that when I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live. I can give back to the world all that I didn't do. All that I might have been and couldn't be. All the choices I didn't make. All the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven't been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed.” ThinkingWorldGivingHas BeensMadeSaidI CanMightDiesChoicesLostVoiceLossHavensStrangeBreathsBreatheMight Have BeenGiving Back Author:Ursula K.
