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.

More quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
If it's important, your heart remembers.
Barbara Kingsolver
...nothing momentous comes in this world unless it comes on the shoulders of kindness.
Barbara Kingsolver
People ask without wanting to know.
Barbara Kingsolver
You see mother, you had no life of your own. They have no idea. One has only a life of one's own.
Barbara Kingsolver
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
Barbara Kingsolver
Your own family resemblances are a frustrating code, most easily read by those who know you least.
Barbara Kingsolver
But children robbed of love will dwell on magic.
Barbara Kingsolver
The arrogance of the able-bodied is staggering. Yes, maybe we'd like to be able to get places quickly, and carry things in both hands but only because we have to keep up with the rest of you ... We would rather be just like us, and have that be all right.
Barbara Kingsolver
People love to read about sins and errors, but not their own.
Barbara Kingsolver
In the places that call me out, I know I'll recover my wordless childhood trust in the largeness of life and its willingness to take me in.
Barbara Kingsolver
there are people who read my work and accuse me of being political! As far as I'm concerned that's like accusing a dog of having a bark!
Barbara Kingsolver
Morning always comes.
Barbara Kingsolver
I live in a rural part of Virginia surrounded by farms and farmers.
Barbara Kingsolver
I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids.
Barbara Kingsolver
The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.
Barbara Kingsolver
I can think of no honorable answer. Why must some of us deliberate between brands of toothpaste, while others deliberate between damp dirt and bone dust to quiet the fire of an empty stomach lining? There is nothing about the United States I can really explain to this child of another world.
Barbara Kingsolver
For Lou Ann, life itself was a life-threatening enterprise.
Barbara Kingsolver
I know how people are, with their habits of mind. Most will sail through from cradle to grave with a conscience clean as snow...I know people. Most have no earthly notion of the price of a snow-white conscience.
Barbara Kingsolver
In a world as wrong as this one, all we can do is make things as right as we can.
Barbara Kingsolver
Sometimes I prayed for Baby Jesus to make me good, but Baby Jesus didn't.
Barbara Kingsolver
