More From Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Every man that tried to destroy the government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the north, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a democrat.

I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. it's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.

When i was growing up, nashville was the place to go if you had songs to sell and thought you had talent and wanted to tour and be on grand ole opry [radio show]. it was the big deal back in those days to play the grand ole opry. and you could travel around the world saying, "hi, i'm willie from the grand ole opry".

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

It's not the length but the quality of life that matters to me. it has always been important to me to write one sentence at a time, to live every day as if it were my last and judge it in those terms, often badly, not because it lacked grand gesture or grand passion but because it failed in the daily virtues of self-discipline, kindness, and laughter. it is love, very ordinary, human love, and not fear, which is the good teacher and the wisest judge.

I think if i'm serious about affecting people with music, i have to affect people on a human to human level, not on a grand social idea or political idea, it has to be a human being idea so it has to be what's inside a human being.

A good plan isn't one where someone wins, it's where nobody thinks they've lost.

I feel really strongly about not wanting to overly guide the reader about what he or she should think. i really trust the reader to know for themselves and not to need too much. you have your own imagination, your own experiences, your own feelings, and a novel wants ultimately to ask questions. it doesn't assert anything, or shouldn't, i think.

The most transformative experiences people have - bliss, devotion, self transcendence - are currently anchored to the worst parts of culture and to ways of thinking that merely amplify superstition, self-deception, and conflict.
