Story is a medicine which strengthens and arights the individual and the community.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Bone by bone, hair by hair, Wild Woman comes back. Through night dreams, through events half understood and half remembered.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
It's not the failure that holds us back but the reluctance to begin over again that causes us to stagnate.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
As long as a woman is forced into believing she is powerless and/or is trained to not consciously register what she knows to be true, the feminine impulses and gifts of her psyche continue to be killed off.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Clarissa Pinkola Estes
God forgives us. ... Who am I not to forgive?
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Stories are medicine. They have such power they do not require that we do, be, act anything - we need only listen.
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. It does not mean to lose one's primary socializations, or to become less human. It means quite the opposite. The wild nature has a vast integrity to it
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Dogs are the magicians of the universe.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
If you have never been called a defiant, incorrigible, impossible woman… have faith. There is yet time.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Long ago the word alone was treated as two words, all one. To be all one meant to be wholly one, to be in oneness, either essentially or temporarily. That is precisely the goal of solitude, to be all one.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The quintessential feminine Self stands at the center of the psyche and it is wild, meaning natural and free, and utterly wise. It is not 'something' we must strive to create. This Self is already fully present, burning strong and waiting for us to come into its presence.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The deterioration of symbols is natural. They wear out, needing to be reclaimed, recreated returned to the spirit.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The body is like the earth ... as vulnerable to overbuilding, being carved into parcels, cut off, overmined, and shorn of its power as any landscape.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
A woman who is starved for her real soul-life may look 'cleaned up and combed' on the outside, but on the inside she is filled with dozens of pleading hands and empty mouths.
