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'.

I worked in theater my whole life...It's hardware that makes a machine fast...When you're through with your cat, you can't throw...There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain...For a short time we lived quietly. But this could not last...Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy...
