Text Quotes
I’m of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
On the hill behind her crows flew one by one into the bare trees, arranging their dark blots in the scrim of branches and adding their warnings to the drear sounds of this day. Gone, gone, they rasped. Here was a dead world learning to speak in dissonant, unbearable sounds. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Last time I talked to her she didn’t sound like herself. She’s depressed. It’s awful what happens when people run out of money. They start thinking they’re no good. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I’m never going to tell the reader what to believe; I’m going to examine these characters that believe different ways, and examine their motives. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I don’t bring expectations to any of my books. I don’t tell people what to do. I want to invite them in. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Your dreams, what you hope for and all that, it’s not separate from your life. It grows right up out of it. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Literature sucks you into another psyche. So the creation of empathy necessarily influences how you’ll behave to other people. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Jack London and Ernest Hemingway, confidence swaggering into the storm: Man against Nature. Of all the possible conflicts, that was the one that was hopeless. Even a slim education had taught her this much: Man loses. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I think the most interesting parts of human experience might be the sparks that come from that sort of chipping flint of cultures rubbing against each other. And living on the border between Mexico and the U.S. for so many years gave me a lot of insight into that. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
It takes some courage to write fiction about politically controversial topics. The dread is you’ll be labeled a political writer. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Pay attention to your passions. They are the key to starting and finishing the book you are meant to write. I don’t believe in talent. I believe in passion. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I learned to produce whether I wanted to or not. It would be easy to say oh, I have writer’s block, oh, I have to wait for my muse. I don’t. Chain that muse to your desk and get the job done. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
My morning begins with trying not to get up before the sun rises. But when I do, it’s because my head is too full of words, and I just need to get to my desk and start dumping them into a file. I always wake with sentences pouring into my head. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Finally, cooking is good citizenship. It’s the only way to get serious about putting locally raised foods into your diet, which keeps farmlands healthy and grocery money in the neighborhood. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I’ve never gotten over high school, to the extent that I’m still a little surprised that my friends want to hang out with me. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Ah, the mysterious croak. Here today, gone tomorrow. It’s the best reason I can think of to throw open the blinds and risk belief. Right now, this minute, time to move out into the grief and glory. High tide. (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
What life can I live that will let me breathe in and out and love somebody or something and not run off screaming into the woods? (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
A writer’s occupational hazard: I think of eavesdropping as minding my business (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Vengeance does not subtract any numbers from the equation of murder; it only adds them (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
The substance of grief is not imaginary. It’s as real as rope or the absence of air, and like both those things, it can kill (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
I rarely think of poetry as something I make happen; it is more accurate to say that it happens to me. Like a summer storm, a house afire, or the coincidence of both on the same day (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
From my earliest memory, times of crisis seemed to end up with women in the kitchen preparing food for men (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
A woman knows she can walk away from a pot to tend something else and the pot will go on boiling; if she couldn’t this world would end at once (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
It seems very safe to me to be surrounded by green growing things and water (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
