More quotes by Anita Diament
I tell writers to keep reading, reading, reading. Read widely and deeply. And I tell them not to give up even after getting rejection letters. And only write what you love.
Anita Diament
There's something almost adolescent about Whitman's paean to everything that was and remains good about America.
Anita Diament
My heart is a ladle of sweet water brimming over.
Anita Diament
Whatever your relationship is to your sacred tradition in the West, you have some relationship to the Bible if only through the names of the characters.
Anita Diament
Shakespeare in Love... such smart writing of an alternative view of history, and such beautiful acting. Like most Americans, I'm a sucker for the accent.
Anita Diament
Wherever you walk, I go with you. Selah.
Anita Diament
They sang the words in unison, yet somehow created a web of sounds with their voices. It was like hearing a piece of fabric woven with all the colors of a rainbow. I did not know that such beauty could be formed by the human mouth. I had never heard harmony before.

Anita Diament
Making plans is a game. Life chooses for you.

Anita Diament
Death is no enemy, but the foundation of gratitude, sympathy, and art. Of all life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death.
Anita Diament
I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.
Anita Diament
Egypt loved the lotus becuase it never dies. It is the same for people who are loved. Thus can something as insignificant as a name-two syllables, one high, one sweet- summon up the innumerable smiles, tears, sighs and dreams of a human life.
Anita Diament
If you want to understand any woman you must first ask about her mother and then listen carefully. Stories about food show a strong connection. Wistful silences demonstrate unfinished business. The more a daughter knows about the details of her mother's life - without flinching or whining - the stronger the daughter.
Anita Diament
The real Mary Poppins got lost when Hollywood turned her into a cream puff.
Anita Diament
I could not get my fill of looking. There should be a song for women to sing at this moment or a prayer to recite. But perhaps there is none because there are no words strong enough to name that moment.
Anita Diament
There's nothing quite like a real . . . train conductor to add color to a quotidian commute
Anita Diament
I like the way he danced. And then I like the way we danced together.
