More quotes by Anne Lamott
Good writing is about telling the truth.
Anne Lamott
I was raised with no religious training or influence. Except the influence was to be a moral and ethical person at the secular level. And to be a peace marcher, an activist for civil rights, peace and justice.

When I was a kid, our family used to watch 'Bonanza.' I really liked having a Sunday night TV ritual.

Most marriages are a mess, and the children get caught between two bitter, antagonistic parents. My parents stayed married for 27 unhappy years, till their kids were grown, and this was a catastrophe for us.

Jealousy has always been my cross, the weakness and woundedness in me that has most often caused me to feel ugly and unlovable, like the Bad Seed.

Anne Lamott
These days cry out, as never before, for us to pay attention, so we can move through them and get our joy and pride back.
Anne Lamott
Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises.
Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott
If your wife locks you out of the house, you don't have a problem with your door.
Anne Lamott
Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
Anne Lamott
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor.
Anne Lamott
I suspect that he was a child who thought differently than his peers, who may have had serious conversations with grown-ups, who as a young person, like me, accepted being alone quite a lot. I think that this sort of person often becomes either a writer or a career criminal.
Anne Lamott
I would seriously rather be in a long line at the DMV than eat with people I don't know.
Anne Lamott
My heart was broken and my head was just barely inhabitable
Anne Lamott
Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions.
