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'.

Music fills the infinite between two souls...We hire people who want to make the best...We are all here on earth to help others...All species capable of grasping this fact manage...Mutual respect! That's what it takes to be friends...The limits of my language means the limits of my world...
