  • Four quotes from ‘The Overstory’

    Here are four context-free quotes I like from The Overstory by Richard Powers, a book I’ve only just started and am not sure if I’ll even finish:

    “Makes you think different about things, don’t it?”

    “Now, that next best of times, is long, and rewrites everything.”

    “A tree is a passage between earth and sky.”

    “They can’t believe a kid worked for months on an original idea, for no reason at all except the pleasure of looking until you see something.”
