Three Lines from PEN @ Town Hall
Posted By: Joshua Wolf Shenk

 
“PLEASE turn your god damned phones off.”
        -  Salman Rushdie, introducing the big event

“You are given a trade not a gift. There need not be intensity or darkness in the service of it”
        - the clock-maker in Michael Ondaatje’s story, advising the narrator, a writer

“Going forward, we should feel, more intensely each time, the nearness of what we thought was far away. “
-    Coral Bracho, from a poem.
