It's not often that I happen across short quotes that I like. I'm drawn in the fullness of words, the totality feeling of a poem, the logic of an essay, the circling story of a novel. Wendell Berry provides all of these things. From his poems, to his essays, to his biographies and more, he's a talented writer of many things that I feel...But today, a simple quote from a conversation he had with four visitors to his home was a gift:
“If it’s baby versus internet, you’re never gonna smile that way over the internet.”
Tonight, I think my computer will sit unattended while I giggle, tickle, and enjoy Team Two Boys.
Go Team Two Boys!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your "Team Two Boys" this weekend too, Ya El. It was nice to spend some time with Aaron Wednesday night. He's awesome, loves books, and didn't make a sound. I'm used to a much louder 3 year old!
