Annie Dillard Quotes About House

Quotes about: House

• We are here to abet creation and to witness to it, to notice each other's beautiful face and complex nature so that creation need not play to an empty house.

  Annie Dillard

  Beautiful, Play, House

• We are here to witness the creation and to abet it. We are here to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. Together we notice not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but, especially, we notice the beautiful faces and complex natures of each other. We are here to bring to consciousness the beauty and power that are around us and to praise the people who are here with us. We witness our generation and our times. We watch the weather. Otherwise, creation would be playing to an empty house.

  Annie Dillard

  Beautiful, Beach, Our Generation

• What is a house but a bigger skin, and a neighborhood map but the world's skin ever expanding?

  Annie Dillard (2016). “An American Childhood”, p.45, Canongate Books

• Let the grass die. I let almost all of my indoor plants die from neglect while I was writing the book. There are all kinds of ways to live. You can take your choice. You can keep a tidy house, and when St. Peter asks you what you did with your life, you can say, I kept a tidy house, I made my own cheese balls.
