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'.

It is the unseen and the spiritual in people...Let the months and years come...Life is not having been told that the man has...Instead of trying to make your life perfect...I don't even call it violence when it's in self...We can speak without voice to the trees...
