More From Lorrie Moore

Humans are built for endurance, not speed. we're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. we try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. they're endurance races. even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest.

I like the stars. it's the illusion of permanence, i think. i mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. but from here, i can pretend...i can pretend that things last. i can pretend that lives last longer than moments. gods come, and gods go. mortals flicker and flash and fade. worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. but i can pretend.
Life Stars Mean
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. i always encourage such people, but i also explain that there's a big difference between being a writer and writing. in most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at the typewriter. you've got to want to write, i say to them, not want to be a writer. the reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. for every writer kissed by fortune, there are thousands more whose longing is never requited. even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty. i did.

Modern science gives lectures on botany, to show there is no such thing as a flower; on humanity, to show there is no such thing as a man; and on theology, to show there is no such thing as a god. no such thing as a man, but only a mechanism, no such thing as a god, but only a series of forces.

Endurance involves much more than putting up with a situation; patient endurance is more than pacing up and down within the cell of circumstance. true enduring represents not merely the passage of time, . . . but the passage of soul.

No silver saints, by dying misers giv'n, here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heav'n; but such plain roofs as piety could raise, and only vocal with the maker's praise.
