More quotes by Julianna Baggott
Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.
Julianna Baggott
The intricacy of plotting a thriller is akin to writing formal poetry.
Julianna Baggott
Genres are just bottles for the various boats. The boats matter to me.
Julianna Baggott
You learn to exploit genre for the more important things - to my mind - like story, character, image, language.
Julianna Baggott
I believe we're brutes, but then, miraculously, there are those among us who stand up against that brutishness and remind us of the goodness we're capable of.
Julianna Baggott
The poem has to bear the weight with image, language... the screenplay with dialogue, plot.

Sometimes when reading aloud to my husband, I'll start crying. It completely stuns me. As if the words in my body and on the page - in relation to each other - are cocooned against my own feelings about what I'm writing until they're loosed in the air and become their own. Then I realize what I may or may not have done.

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.

I've left the Church - for many reasons that I've written about publicly - but it's still a large part of my identity, and I still have my faith, if not my Church.
Julianna Baggott
It's not that I bounce ideas off of my children as much as it is that having children has had a profound effect on the way I see the world. They have mined my soul. They've made me a better person and therefore a more empathetic writer.
Julianna Baggott
The lessons learned in journalism also apply. Writing for NPR has taught me to cut a piece in half and then in half again - without losing the essence. Apply that to the swollen prose of a bulky novel and you might reveal a beautiful work.
Julianna Baggott
I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.
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
When you're in the world looking for only one thing, you find it or it finds you. The obsession can be mutual
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've never thought there was anything I could hope to get by praying for it.
Julianna Baggott
I am deeply Catholic and always will be, but I'm no longer a member of the church. I left in 2003 because of the sex abuse scandal.
Julianna Baggott
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
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.
