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)
A dog can’t think that much about what he’s doing, he just does what feels right (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Even feigning surprise, pretending it was unexpected and saying a ritual thanks, is surely wiser than just expecting everything so carelessly (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)
Recall that whatever lofty things you might accomplish today, you will do them only because you first ate something that grew out of the dirt (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for! (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Quit smoking, and observe posted speed limits. This will improve your odds of getting old enough to be wise (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
It’s the same struggle for each of us, and the same path out: the utterly simple, infinitely wise, ultimately defiant act of loving one thing and then another, loving our way back to life (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Growing food was the first activity that gave us enough prosperity to stay in one place, form complex social groups, tell our stories, and build our cities (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Our childhood had passed over into history overnight. The transition was unnoticed by anyone but ourselves (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Prayer had always struck me as more or less a glorified attempt at a business transaction (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
At some point in my life I’d honestly hoped love would rescue me from the cold, drafty castle I lived in. But at another point, much earlier I think, I’d quietly begun to hope for nothing at all in the way of love, so as not to be disappointed. It works. It gets to be a habit (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
Most of the girls my age, or even younger, have babies. They appear way too young to be married, till you look in their eyes. Then you’ll see it. Their eyes look happy and sad at the same time, but unexcited by anything, shifting easily off to the side as if they’ve already seen most of what there is. Married eyes (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
... prodigal summer, the season of extravagant procreation. It could wear out everything in its path with its passionate excesses, but nothing alive with wings or a heart or a seed curled into itself in the ground could resist welcoming it back when it came (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
As long as I kept moving, my grief streamed out behind me like a swimmer’s long hair in water. I knew the weight was there but it didn’t touch me. Only when I stopped did the slick, dark stuff of it come floating around my face, catching my arms and throat till I began to drown. So I just didn’t stop (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)

This is what it means to be alone: everyone is connected to everyone else, their bodies are a bright liquid life flowing around you, sharing a single heart that drives them to move all together. If the shark comes they will all escape, and leave you to be eaten (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
There are always more questions. Science as a process is never complete. It is not a foot race, with a finish line... People will always be waiting at a particular finish line: journalists with their cameras, impatient crowds eager to call the race, astounded to see the scientists approach, pass the mark, and keep running. It’s a common misunderstanding, he said. They conclude there was no race. As long as we won’t commit to knowing everything, the presumption is we know nothing (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
With all due respect for the wondrous ways people have invented to amuse themselves and one another on paved surfaces, I find that this exodus from the land makes me unspeakably sad. I think of the children who will never know, intuitively, that a flower is a plant’s way of making love, or what silence sounds like, or that trees breathe out what we breathe in (Barbara Kingsolver Quotes)
