More quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
From the fallen tree everybody makes firewood.
Barbara Kingsolver
There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.
Barbara Kingsolver
Everything truly important is washable.
Barbara Kingsolver
Eaters must understand, how we eat determines how the world is used.
Barbara Kingsolver
It's frightening when things you love appear suddenly changed from what you have always known.
Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver
My father wears his faith like the bronze breastplate of God's footsoldiers while our mother's is more like a good cloth coat with a secondhand fit.
Barbara Kingsolver
Your own family resemblances are a frustrating code, most easily read by those who know you least.
Barbara Kingsolver
Every life is different because you passed this way and touched history.
Barbara Kingsolver
Sometimes I prayed for Baby Jesus to make me good, but Baby Jesus didn't.
Barbara Kingsolver
I personally am inclined to approach [housework] the way governments treat dissent: ignore it until it revolts.
Barbara Kingsolver
Perhaps growing up meant we put our knives away and feigned ignorance of the damage.
Barbara Kingsolver
Being a novelist and being a mother have exactly coincided in my life: the call from my agent saying that I had a contract for my first novel - that was on my answering phone message when I got back from the hospital with my first child.
Barbara Kingsolver
Why is it that only girls stand on the sides of their feet? As if they're afraid to plant themselves?
Barbara Kingsolver
Once you start cooking, one thing leads to another. A new recipe is as exciting as a blind date. A new ingredient, heaven help me, is an intoxicating affair.
