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 you love someone, set them free...All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences...Well, I must endure the presence...There exist limitless opportunities in every industry...Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind...I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it...
