Notable quotes

“My fathering had always taken the form of a friendly cloud that floated across the lives of the children, and paused occasionally to cast a shadow. That they would turn out to have their own weather, and that I would profit by the climate, was an immense satisfaction.”
— "The Fathering Instinct", Ms. magazine (May 1974)
“Crossing color, class, gender, and generational lines, the communities of addiction and recovery are as democratic as America gets. Twelve-step meetings are in fact downright radical: nonprofit and non-hierarchical, with a fierce etiquette of listening to and caring about everyone who wanders into the rooms.”
— "Can't Get Enough", New York Magazine (23 May 1998)
“Granted, religion is wishful thinking, but there is no other kind of thinking.”
— "Good News" (p. 17)
“Every fall I imagine once again that something wonderful will happen at a party. This is like imagining that the telephone book will prove to be a wonderful novel.”
— "Perfect Knowledge in Final Things" (p. 108)
“You can't invent yourself as you maunder on. Your fabrications aren't going to impress the blood test, the urinalysis or the chest X-ray. Science is not amused.”
— "On Being Embarrassed" (p. 139)
“Monotheism was a terrible idea, leading directly to Lenin.”
— "Dolphins" (p. 203)
