Janet Lembke Quotes

• Truth is, most of us contain a splashing, giggling, squealing child who knows without thinking that bare skin and water go together as wings go with air, roots with earth, and the phoenix with incendiary sun. And innocence belongs to us as it did to ancient Greek athletes, who never wore clothes for their footraces or boxing matches but rather oiled themselves until their nude bodies glistened in the sunlight.

• Bare skin is the one and only right criterion for receiving water's gracious acceptance or any acceptance whatsoever from that element. But Pliny also seems to say something more: Stripping off not caution but the stale, crusty garments of preconception, peeling sensibly down to raw, new nakedness, is the only way to enter and be properly embraced by the world.

• El relato de Rosanne Daryl Thomas sobre su encanto por las abejas es una delicia. También contiene observaciones minuciosas del mundo natural, historias de fracasos y triunfos con las colmenas, y un elenco estelar de personajes que incluye a su hija, sus gatos, el desventurado granjero Tom, Pete el guardia de cruce y, lo más importante, el Amo de las Abejas. Cada palabra sabe dulce como la miel.

• Irene Diamond's Fertile Ground is a provocative book. It stirs me to vigorous assent. It also triggers wide-eyed disbelief. . . . As it prods me to explosions of disagreement, it also provokes useful thought.
