More quotes by Anne Lamott
The thing about light is that it really isn’t yours it’s what you gather and shine back. And it gets more power from reflectiveness if you sit still and take it in, it fills your cup, and then you can give it off yourself.
Anne Lamott
We all often feel like we are pulling teeth, even those writers whose prose ends up being the most natural and fluid. The right words and sentences just do not come pouring out like ticker tape most of the time.
Anne Lamott

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.

I used to think that paired opposites were a given, that love was the opposite of hate, right the opposite of wrong. But now I think we sometimes buy into these concepts because it is so much easier to embrace absolutes than to suffer reality. I don't think anything is the opposite of love. Reality is unforgivingly complex.
Anne Lamott
Radical self-care is what we've been longing for, desperate for, our entire lives-friendship with our own hearts.
Anne Lamott
I spend most of my time alone, because I so value and thrive in the quiet. Heaven.
Anne Lamott
That thing you had to force yourself to do-the actual act of writing-turns out to be the best part.
Anne Lamott
To love yourself as you are is a miracle, and to seek yourself is to have found yourself for now. And now is all we have, and love is who we are.
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
Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.
Anne Lamott
It's a great time to be alive.
Anne Lamott
Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save they just stand there shining.
Anne Lamott
You don't always have to chop with the sword of truth. You can point with it too.
Anne Lamott
Sometimes grace is a ribbon of mountain air that gets in through the cracks.
Anne Lamott
I write because writing is the gift God has given me to help people in the world.
Anne Lamott
Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.
Anne Lamott
The difference between a writer who toughs it out and one who doesn't is that you push through the parts where you know that you've just written seven pages when all you're looking for is one paragraph.
