Different Parts of a Whole Piece: A Collection of Quotes

Mehr zum Buch

In Different Parts of a Whole Piece, quote curator and author Alana Paschall delivers an extraordinary collection that helps tell a story of how to live a truly inspired, interesting, and empathetic life. In two parts and nineteen chapters, she weaves the words of historical and contemporary novelists, playwrights, poets, activists, politicians, and scientists, among other notables, on a bevy of topics such as love, human connection, courage, and the natural world. With titles such as âObservation of Man,â âCritical and Judgmental,â and âPassion and Sex,â the curator lets the likes of Seneca, Jean-Jacque Rousseau, John Muir, and Mary Wollstonecraft do her bidding. Their individual sentiments convey how precious life is and how important it is that mankind be gentle. What results is a symphony in which countless instruments strum, sound, and echo a simple, yet dazzling, masterpiece.
