More From Tea Obreht

Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.
Animal Thinking Differences
Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. a sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. it is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. the behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. they are just too much like us.
Pain Regret Compassion
We owe them [animals] a decent life and a decent death, and their lives should be as low-stress as possible. that's my job. i wish animals could have more than just a low-stress life and a quick, painless death. i wish animals could have a good life, too, with something useful to do. people were animals, too, once, and when we turned into human beings we gave something up. being close to animals brings some of it back.

I don't think either party has any idea what's headed their way. their business is to remain mired in process. they call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation. trump doesn't know any of that. trump is not a process guy. to him, process is delay. process is obfuscation. process is incompetence. people engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don't know what they're doing, and he has no time for 'em and no patience.

I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.

When the lord wants to give us a mission, wants to give us a task, he prepares us. he prepares us to do it well...what is important is the whole journey by which we arrive at the mission the lord entrusts to us...when the lord gives a mission, he always has us enter into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of obedience, a process of prayer.

The rosary is my favorite prayer. a marvelous prayer! marvelous in its simplicity and its depth. in the prayer we repeat many times the words that the virgin mary heard from the archangel, and from her kinswoman elizabeth.

If god were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be god our saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.

Prayer means dependence on the lord.

I never pray on a golf course. actually, the lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course.
