“So when I watch trains, it makes me think about how much movement there is in the world. How every train has dozens of cars and every car has hundreds of parts, and all those parts and cars work day after day. And then there are all these other motions. People are born and die. Seasons change. Rivers flow to the sea. Earth circles the sun and the moon circles Earth. Everything whirring and spinning toward something. And I get to be part of it for a little while, the way I get to watch a train for a minute or two, and then it's gone.”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“There are books stacked high around them - the way opportunity and possibility are stacked around them.”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“That wouldn't be a bad way to die...giving off light for millions of years after you're gone.”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“Wanting to believe something is powerful”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“Writing is something that you can learn only by doing. To become a writer, you need an imagination, which you clearly have. You need to read books, which you clearly do. And you need to write, which you don't yet do, but should.”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“For the most part, you don't hold the people you love in your heart because they rescued you from drowning or pulled you from a burning house. Mostly you hold them in your heart because they save you, in a million quiet and perfect ways, from being alone.”
Jeff Zentner, Goodbye Days“I want you to be careful in this world. My heart is wrapped up in you.”
Jeff Zentner, The Serpent King“What you call pride, I call courage.”
