More quotes by Carolyn Chute
Writing is like meditation or going into an ESP trance, or prayer. Like dreaming. You are tapping into your unconscious. To be fully conscious and alert, with life banging and popping and cuckooing all around, you are not going to find your way to your subconscious, which is a place of complete submission.
Carolyn Chute
I'd rather be a born-once hog than a born-again Christian any day.
Carolyn Chute
That’s the way we see life: your community is your survival. And if you live in a small community like this, even the people you hate you have as friends.
