“There a way of giving, seeking pleasure by it (or) coveting to get more; some
also give to gain a name for charity, some to gain the happiness of heaven…But,
yours, O’ friend, is a charity free from such thoughts, the highest and best
degree of charity, free from self-interest or thought of getting more.”
–Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king

"The reason I am still sitting at Josef's Kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage; you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it."

"Fiction is like that, once it is released into the world: contagious, persistent. Like the contents of Pandora's box, a story that's freely given can't be contained anymore. It becomes infectious, spreading from the person who created it to the person who listens, and passes it on."
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
