Anne Lamott Quotes

My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way Picture Quote #1

When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again Picture Quote #1

Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother Picture Quote #1

You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do Picture Quote #1

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up Picture Quote #1

If you want to know how God feels about money, look at whom she gives it to Picture Quote #1

Where do we even start on the daily walk of restoration and awakening? We start where we are Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that it crippled me Picture Quote #1

Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there Picture Quote #1

You want to protect your child from pain, and what you get instead is life, and grace; and though theologians insist that grace is freely given, the truth is that sometimes you pay for it through the nose. And you can’t pay your child’s way Picture Quote #1

You don’t always have to chop with the sword of truth. You can point with it too Picture Quote #1

I’m here to be me, which is taking a great deal longer than I had hoped Picture Quote #1

Can you imagine the hopelessness of trying to live a spiritual life when you’re secretly looking up at the skies not for illumination or direction, but to gauge, miserably, the odds of rain? Picture Quote #1

Don’t look at your feet to see if you are doing it right. Just dance Picture Quote #1

It is a violation of trust to use your kids as caulking for the cracks in you Picture Quote #1

Summer nearly does me in every year. It’s too hot and the light is unforgiving and the days go on way too long Picture Quote #1

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear Picture Quote #1

Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison, and then waiting around for the rat to die Picture Quote #1
