Sue Monk Kidd Quotes

Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here Picture Quote #1

Where had I been that I didn't know about imaginary friends? I could see the point of it. How a lost part of yourself steps out and remind you who you could be with a little work Picture Quote #1

In a weird way I must have loved my little collection of hurts and wounds. They provided me with some real nice sympathy, with the feeling I was exceptional...What a special case I was Picture Quote #1

Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier Picture Quote #1

I wondered what it was like to be inside her, just a curl of flesh swimming in the darkness, the quiet things that had passed between us Picture Quote #1

I wanted to know what happened when two people felt it. Would it divide the hurt in two, make it lighter to bear, the way feeling someone's joy seemed to double it? Picture Quote #1

It was the first time I'd ever said the words to another person, and the sound of them broke open my heart Picture Quote #1

After you get stung, you can't get unstung no matter how much you whine about it Picture Quote #1

The world will give you that once in awhile, a brief timeout; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life Picture Quote #1

You have to know when to prod and when to be quiet, when to let things take their course Picture Quote #1

Yes, here I am returning, the woman who bore herself to the bottom and back. Who wanted to swim like dolphins, leaping waves and diving. Who wanted only to belong to herself Picture Quote #1

When a woman starts to disentangle herself from patriarchy, ultimately she is abandoned to her own self Picture Quote #1

All my life I've thought I needed someone to complete me, now I know I need to belong to myself Picture Quote #1

I know you've run away - everybody gets the urge to do that some time - but sooner or later you'll want to go home Picture Quote #1

Honeybees depend not only on physical contact with the colony, but also require it's social companionship and support. Isolate a honeybee from her sisters and she will soon die Picture Quote #1

There's nothing like a song about lost love to remind you how everything precious can slip from the hinges where you've hung it so careful Picture Quote #1

So I taught Sunday school and brought dishes to all manner of potlucks and tried to adjust the things I heard from the pulpit to my increasingly incongruent faith Picture Quote #1

Drifting off to sleep, I thought about her. How nobody is perfect. How you just have to close your eyes and breathe out and let the puzzle of the human heart be what it is Picture Quote #1

It's something everybody wants - for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters Picture Quote #1

When had my fear of broken plates gotten so grandiose? My desire for extravagant moments so small? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you want to fall on your knees and thank God in heaven for all the poor news reporting that goes on in the world Picture Quote #1

We can't think of changing our skin color. Change the world - that's how we gotta think Picture Quote #1

If you need something from somebody always give that person a way to hand it to you Picture Quote #1

This is what I know about myself. She was all I wanted. And I took her away Picture Quote #1

The body knows things a long time before the mind catches up to them. I was wondering what my body knew that I didn't Picture Quote #1

You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside Picture Quote #1

She didn't even know how dangerous the truth could be, all the tiny, shattering seeds it carried Picture Quote #1

Gazing into the mirror, I saw myself as I was - a black silhouette in the room, a woman whose darkness had completely leaked through Picture Quote #1

I could even feel how perishable all my moments really were, how all my life they had come to me begging to be lived, to be cherished even Picture Quote #1

I wished she'd been smart enough, or loving enough, to realize everybody has burdens that crush them, only they don't give up their children Picture Quote #1
