Clarissa Pinkola Estes
To adjoin the instinctual nature does not mean to come undone, change everything from left to right, from black to white, to move the east to west, to act crazy or out of control.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Clarissa Pinkola Estes
It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says, 'Nothing good came of this' is not yet listening.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Story is a medicine which strengthens and arights the individual and the community.
