Literary Birthday – 13 December – Emma Bull

Happy Birthday, Emma Bull, born 13 December 1954.

Quotes

1. Coincidence is the word we use when we can’t see the levers and pulleys.
2. I believe in systems and methods. I believe in the beauties of philosophy and poetry. I believe that the work we do and leave behind us is our afterlife; and I believe that history lies, but sometimes so well that I can’t bring myself to resent it. I believe that truth is beauty, but not, I’m afraid, the reverse.
3. We’re all immortal until we die.
4. When I was a kid, I thought I’d just get happier and happier as I got older, and have more things to be happy about. I based this theory on observation of select adults. The problem with my results is that I couldn’t tell the difference then between happy and fake-happy.
5. Is negative space the space you don’t like, or the space that is not there? And if it’s not there how can you tell?
