Elif Batuman
I have always known my mother as an agnostic, less certain than my father that the universe hadn't been created by some great intelligence. But she would get even more annoyed than my father did when she thought that people were invoking God to do their jobs for them — for example, when she saw a bus with a sticker saying 'Allah Protect Us'.

If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives...I live in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg...I have more respect for a man who lets me know...The lips of the wise are as the doors of a cabinet...Force overcome by force...The truth is you don't know what is going to happen...
