More quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
It's the one thing we never quite get over: that we contain our own future.
Barbara Kingsolver
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
Barbara Kingsolver
Perhaps growing up meant we put our knives away and feigned ignorance of the damage.
Barbara Kingsolver
...our best task is to move forward without insisting others slide backward.
Barbara Kingsolver
It's a funny thing: people often ask how I discipline myself to write. I can't begin to understand the question. For me, the discipline is turning off the computer and leaving my desk to do something else.
Barbara Kingsolver
A woman without a man -- a condition of 'manlessness' -- is defined as alone. But a single mother is less alone than the average housewife.
Barbara Kingsolver
I used to think religion was just more of the same thing. Dump responsibility on the big guy. Now I see an importance in that. It's a relief to accept that not everything is under your control.
Barbara Kingsolver
People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.
Barbara Kingsolver
I know I have to write about the things that keep me awake at night.
Barbara Kingsolver
organization is the religion of the single parent.
Barbara Kingsolver
Friends, there is nothing like your own family to make you appreciate strangers!
Barbara Kingsolver
There is a strange moment in time, after something horrible happens, when you know it's true, but you haven't told anyone yet.
Barbara Kingsolver
God, why does a mortal man have children? It is senseless to love anything this much.
Barbara Kingsolver
People ask without wanting to know.
Barbara Kingsolver
Plants do everything animals do, but slowly. They migrate, communicate, deceive, stalk their food and, with an ostentation of styles and perfumes to put the animal kingdom to shame, they make love. It's just that catching them in flagrante delicto might require time-lapse photography.
Barbara Kingsolver
If it's important, your heart remembers.
Barbara Kingsolver
I considered her my ally, because, like me, she was imperfect.
Barbara Kingsolver
What you lose in blindness is the space around you, the place where you are, and without that you might not exist. You could be nowhere at all.
Barbara Kingsolver
Every life is different because you passed this way and touched history.
Barbara Kingsolver
I learned to produce whether I wanted to or not. It would be easy to say oh, I have writer's block, oh, I have to wait for my muse. I don't. Chain that muse to your desk and get the job done.
Barbara Kingsolver
