My favorite quotes ever so far this week

She knew the world was a stallion rolling in the blue pasture of ether. She knew that God tore down the old world every evening and built a new one by sun-up. It was wonderful to see it take form with the sun and emerge from the gray dust of its making. - Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Why did it seem so tricky, so difficult, to lead simultaneously a romantic
life and a fully conscious one? - Tom Robbins, Fierce Invalids Home
from Hot Climates
