Barbara Kingsolver
I struggle with confidence, every time. I’m never completely sure I can write another book. Maybe my scope is too grand, my questions too hard, surely readers won’t want to follow me here. A novel is like a cathedral, it knocks you down to size when you enter into it.
Barbara Kingsolver
Morning always comes.
Barbara Kingsolver
...our best task is to move forward without insisting others slide backward.
Barbara Kingsolver
The past is all we know of the future.
