Text Quotes
One of the reasons I am happy now is that I did the work I had always dreamed of doing. But I didn’t start doing it seriously and professionally until I was forty years old. (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
I love Fayetteville. I like hills and vistas and hardworking people and fighting snow in winter and chiggers in the summer. (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)

The first thing a writer has to do is find a new source of income (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
Cuddle up. Rain always stops. It always stops. It always does (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
We cannot get from anyone else the things we need to fill the endless terrible need, not to be dissolved, not to sink back into sand, heat, broom, air, thinnest air. And so we revolve around each other and our dreams collide. Look out the window in any weather. We are part of all that glamour, drama, change, and should not be ashamed (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
Everything in the world had happened to them and kept on happening. They didn’t care. They liked it that way (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
We live at the level of our language. Whatever we can articulate we can imagine or understand or explore (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
Tell me the truth about death. I don’t know what it is. We have them, then they are gone but they stay in our minds. Their stories are part of us as long as we live and as long as we tell them or write them down (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
How often I have tried to tell writing students that the first thing a writer must do is love the reader and wish the reader well. The writer must trust the reader to be at least as intelligent as he is. Only in such well wishing and trust, only when the writer feels he is writing a letter to a good friend, only then will the magic happen (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind is bearing me across the sky (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
One of the reasons I am happy now is that I did the work I had always dreamed of doing. But I didn’t start doing it seriously and professionally until I was forty years old (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
At one level inspiration is the ability to see beauty and mystery in everything men and women do (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
Family and work. Family and work. I can let them be at war, with guilt as their nuclear weapon and mutually assured destruction as their aim, or I can let them nourish each other (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
The first thing a writer has to do is find another source of income. Then, after you have begged, borrowed, stolen or saved up the money to give you time to write and you spend all of it staying alive while you write, and you write your heart out, after all that, maybe no one will publish it, and if they publish it, maybe no one will read it. That is the hard truth, that is what it means to be a writer (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
All you have to do to educate a child is leave him alone and teach him to read. The rest is brainwashing (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
One thing I know is that it is a bad idea to marry someone who had bad parents. If they hated their mother, if they were hated by their mother or father, your marriage will pay for it in ways both obvious and subtle. When the chips are down, when someone is sick or loses their job or gets scared, the old patterns will kick in and he will treat you the way he treated his mother or the way she treated him (Ellen Gilchrist Quotes)
