More quotes by Julianna Baggott
One of the reasons I write in different genres is that I get to have the feeling - even fleetingly - that I'm not just writing like Baggott again. I can escape myself.
Julianna Baggott
I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope. Deep down, I believe in the human spirit, although sometimes that belief is shaken.
Julianna Baggott
My childhood was marked by the great fear of nuclear holocaust. We practiced our Civil Defense Drills, lining up in hallways, curled to the floor, but we knew we'd die or, worse, survive only to suffer radiation and slow death.
Julianna Baggott
I want to keep looking at ways to stride forward with positivity.

Julianna Baggott
Is it wrong to kill something that wants to kill you?
Julianna Baggott
Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside, these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.
Julianna Baggott
Women are constantly underestimated in our power, our reach, our collective pull.
Julianna Baggott
I'm a writer of faith. I was raised Catholic, and I have a deeply Catholic imagination.
Julianna Baggott
I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.
Julianna Baggott
While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.
Julianna Baggott
Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.
Julianna Baggott
As a writer, my main objective is to tell the story urgently - as if whispering it into one ear - and to know the characters intimately.
Julianna Baggott
Being cross-genre, you can encounter an image and decide not only how to best express it but what form would express it best.
Julianna Baggott
Weakness, like not being able to bury the past. Weakness, like not giving up hope when you know you should.
Julianna Baggott
I feel too much. It's like being drummed to death from within. You know?
