Barbara Kingsolver
From my earliest memory, times of crisis seemed to end up with women in the kitchen preparing food for men.
Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver
This is how Americans think. You believe that if something terrible happens to someone, they must have deserved it.
Barbara Kingsolver
But kids don't stay with you if you do it right. It's the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won't be needed in the long run.
Barbara Kingsolver
it's the thing you fear most that walks beside you all the time.
Barbara Kingsolver
There are some who'd hardly lift a finger for kindness, but they would haul up a load of rock to dump on some soul they think's been too lucky.
Barbara Kingsolver
There's always more to a story than a body can see from the fenceline.
Barbara Kingsolver
The march of human progress seemed mainly a matter of getting over that initial shock of being here.
Barbara Kingsolver
