DIANE ON THE SELF

“Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant? ...We are all shape-shifters and magical reinventors. Life is really a plural noun, a caravan of selves.”
DIANE ON LIFE

"The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible,to groom one's curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sun-struck hills every day....It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between."
DIANE ON NATURE

"There is a way of beholding nature which is a form of prayer, a way of minding something with such clarity and aliveness that the rest of the world recedes."
DIANE ON WONDER

“Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.”
