Barbara Kingsolver Quotes

I learned to write by reading the kind of books I wished I’d written Picture Quote #1

You don’t think you’ll live past it and you don’t really. The person you were is gone. But the half of you that’s still alive wakes up one day and takes over again Picture Quote #1

He had senile dementia and liked to go outside naked, but he could still do two things perfectly: win at checkers and write out prescriptions Picture Quote #1

You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don’t attempt it in isolation. The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world Picture Quote #1

A miscarriage is a natural and common event. All told, probably more women have lost a child from this world than haven’t. Most don’t mention it, and they go on from day to day as if it hadn’t happened, so people imagine a woman in this situation never really knew or loved what she had. But ask her sometime: how old would your child be now? And she’ll know Picture Quote #1

Literature duplicates the experience of living in a way that nothing else can, drawing you so fully into another life that you temporarily forget you have one of your own. That is why you read it, and might even sit up in bed till early dawn, throwing your whole tomorrow out of whack, simply to find out what happens to some people who, you know perfectly well, are made up Picture Quote #1

The way I see it, a person isn’t nothing more than a scarecrow... The only difference between one that stands up good and one that blows over is what kind of a stick they’re stuck up there on Picture Quote #1

Stop a minute, right where you are. Relax your shoulders, shake your head and spine like a dog shaking off cold water. Tell that imperious voice in your head to be still Picture Quote #1

It’s the one thing we never quite get over: that we contain our own future Picture Quote #1

Sugar, it’s no parade but you’ll get down the street one way or another, so you’d just as well throw your shoulders back and pick up the pace Picture Quote #1

The most important thing about a person is always the thing you don’t know Picture Quote #1

Don’t wait for the muse. She has a lousy work ethic. Writers just write Picture Quote #1

It’s a great freedom to give up on love, and get on with everything else Picture Quote #1
