For this post, the quotes are from Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

It was like one of those dreams where you’re filled with some extravagant feeling you might never have in life, it doesn’t matter what it is, even guild or dread, and you learn from it what an amazing instrument you are, so to speak, what a power you have to experience beyond anything you might ever actually need.
...
To be useful was the best thing the old men ever hoped for themselves, and to be aimless was their worst fear.
...
We human beings do real harm. History could make a stone weep.
