I often use The Nature of Generosity as a teaching tool/discussion prompt in my community college composition classes, but locating particular quotes is difficult because there are so many tabbed pages. I, too, am a writer, and I am indebted to one line from that book: "We are what we can say or sing."  

Thank you for all of your very important work. I haven't been fortunate enough to have studied with you, but I have had the pleasure of hearing you read at Fishtrap. I look forward to your next novel.
