Most Powerful Books
"The most powerful books are the ones who force the reader to use the imagination."
Mirror and Lamp
"We need books that are both mirror and lamp, books that mirror the breadth of our enormously rich and diverse experiences and cultural heritage, books that excite our aesthetic sensibilities, that stimulate us to think, that cause us to see ourselves in the Other."
What Is Felt
"For me, that is the question any good book asks, what does it feel like to be alive, how do we struggle, what is essential, what is felt?"
