Annie Dillard

The writer studies literature, not the world.

When I teach, I preach. I thump the Bible. I exhort my students morally. I talk to them about the dedicated life.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

I don't like to get in front of people.

Science is always inquiring.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
