Remembering #AnnieDillard: "Nature is, above all, profligate. Don’t believe them when they tell you how economical & thrifty #nature is, whose leaves return to the soil. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to leave them on the tree in the first place? Extravagance! Nature will try anything once." bit.ly/4ywUXuZ
"She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live."
-Annie Dillard, The Living

I just discovered that #AnnieDillard has passed away. She's been recommended to me on more than one occasion, and I've been negligent in following up on that. The more I learn, though, the more I see someone I would value. I intend to rectify my ignorance. www.americamagazine.org/catholic-boo...

📰 Classic! Just as I thought 😏 Annie Dillard's reflections on nature remind us of the beauty in simplicity. Her work encourages us to pause and appreciate the world around us. What’s your favorite nature writing? 🌳 #AnnieDillard #naturewriting #literature
Nothing quite like this #AnnieDillard quote on writing a book. RIP.

En hommage à #AnnieDillard, le blog #SousLePavéLaPlume bouleverse son programme.
J'ai entrepris de relire les trois ouvrages de cette grande écrivaine, achetés sur les conseils d'un poète lui aussi décédé, qui occupent une place de choix dans ma bibliothèque.
À vous en reparler.
"Talent could give you nothing. Without work, talent is only talent, promise, not product." -- @alexanderchee.bsky.social Chee on being a student of #AnnieDillard. In @themorningnews.org. In other words, per Britney, you better work, bitch.
I did love to read that Annie Dillard played tackle football. She was intrepid, found (and shared) awe in the smallest and biggest pockets of the natural world, and could wing words like a possessed demon/angel/angel/demon. #AnnieDillard
My favorite pearl of wisdom from #AnnieDillard: Life is too short for housework.
Shed the distractions. Do what's important to you, whether it's #writing or something else entirely.
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
Annie Dillard died this week. I kept telling people and hearing, “I don’t know who that is.” So I wrote for the people who don’t know her yet via @baptistnews.com 🙏
