More quotes by Julianna Baggott
Women are constantly underestimated in our power, our reach, our collective pull.
Julianna Baggott
While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.
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.

When a colleague of mine had a notable New York Times book, I said, turn one of the chapters in the collection into a pitch for a novel and sell it to your publisher.

People know the difference between good and evil in their hearts-if they search them. Religions twist good and evil. Their differences are the kind that need to be taught because they aren't natural.

Julianna Baggott
Writing stories is the habit of lying put to good use.
Julianna Baggott
I believe that one of the most damning things about our culture is the adage to never talk religion and politics. Because we don't model this discourse at the dinner table and at Thanksgiving, we don't know how to do it well and we're not teaching our children about the world and about how to discuss it.
Julianna Baggott
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
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
Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.
Julianna Baggott
If I'd learned nothing else, it was this: If you want to be a great writer, be a man. If you can't be a man, write like one.
Julianna Baggott
Love is a luxury. It's something that people are allowed to indulge in when they're not simply trying to survive and keep other people alive.
