More quotes by Anne Lamott
When I was young, I used to be so jealous of other girls that it crippled me.
Anne Lamott
I've always thought I could use my brain and my heart to jockey everyone around to the good. But life is not jockeyable. When you try, you make people infinitely crazier than they already were, including or especially yourself.
Anne Lamott
... one of the immutable laws of being human is that the people who show up are the right people. [p. 65]
Anne Lamott
The road to enlightenment is long and difficult, and you should try not to forget snacks and magazines.
Anne Lamott
Butterflies and birds are like one perfect teaspoon of creation.
Anne Lamott
It is a violation of trust to use your kids as caulking for the cracks in you.
Anne Lamott
Don’t underestimate this gift of finding a place in the writing world: if you really work at describing creatively on paper the truth as you understand it, as you have experienced it, with the people or material who are in you, who are asking that you help them get written, you will come to a secret feeling of honor.
Anne Lamott
There is a door we all want to walk through and writing can help you find it and open it.
Anne Lamott
Sometimes Heaven is just a new pair of glasses.
Anne Lamott
Some people may have thought that this book was too personal, too confessional. But what these people think about me is none of my business.
Anne Lamott
Nothing heals us like letting people know our scariest parts: When people listen to you cry and lament, and look at you with love, it's like they are holding the baby of you.
Anne Lamott
I think that is why we stay close to our families, no matter how neurotic the members, how deeply annoying or dull- because when people have seen you at your worst, you don’t have to put on the mask as much.
Anne Lamott
Perfection is shallow, unreal, and fatally uninteresting.
Anne Lamott
Human lives are hard, even those of health and privilege, and don't make much sense. This is the message of the Book of Job: Any snappy explanation of suffering you come up with will be horseshit.
Anne Lamott
I'm not going to change the way people think about me, but I can say you know what? I'm not going to carry that in my backpack.
Anne Lamott
You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
Anne Lamott
If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise, you'll just be rearranging furniture in rooms you've already been in.
Anne Lamott
I honestly think that in order to be a writer you have to learn to be reverent. If not, why are you writing? Why are you here?
Anne Lamott
...It really IS easier to experience spiritual connection when your life is in the process of coming apart.
Anne Lamott
I’ve heard it said that every day you need half an hour of quiet time for yourself, or your Self, unless you’re incredibly busy and stressed, in which case you need an hour. I promise you, it is there. Fight tooth and nail to find time, to make it. It is our true wealth, this moment, this hour, this day.
