More quotes by Anne Lamott
I've heard people say that God is the gift of desperation, and there's a lot to be said for having really reached a bottom where you've run out of any more good ideas or plans for everybody else's behavior or how to save and fix and rescue or just get out of a huge mess, possibly of your own creation.

Pay attention to the beauty surrounding you.

Radical self-care is quantum, and radiates out into the atmosphere, like a little fresh air. It is a huge gift to the world. When people respond by saying, “Well, isn’t she full of herself,” smile obliquely, like Mona Lisa, and make both of you a nice cup of tea.

Anne Lamott
One thing I know for sure about raising children is that every single day a kid needs discipline.... But also every single day a kid needs a break.
Anne Lamott
It turned out this man worked for the Dalai Lama. And she said gently-that they believe when a lot of things start going wrong all at once, it is to protect something big and lovely that is trying to get itself born-and that this something needs for you to be distracted so that it can be born as perfectly as possible.
Anne Lamott
The opposite of faith is not doubt, it’s certainty.
Anne Lamott
...It really IS easier to experience spiritual connection when your life is in the process of coming apart.
Anne Lamott
I don't remember who said this, but there really are places in the heart you don't even know exist until you love a child.
Anne Lamott
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
Anne Lamott
I have been somebody who has not written a great deal about the truth of my family's life.
Anne Lamott
I'd like to learn to meditate with more enthusiasm. I can sit down and get quiet for 20 minutes, but it just has not been a part of my Christianity at all.

A hundred years from now? All new people.
