Russell Banks

Go, my book, and help destroy the world as it is.

Loyalty is weird, it kicks in when you dont expect it and the people who deserve loyalty least seem to get it the most.

Lists of books we re-read and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves.

If you dedicate your attention to discipline in your life you become smarter while you are writing than while you are hanging out with your pals or in any other line of work

When you are a long way from where you think you belong, you will attach yourself to people you would otherwise ignore or even dislike.

One hates a person for the same reason one loves him.

We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle.
