More quotes by Julianna Baggott
I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.
Julianna Baggott
But there it is: Everyone is alone, for life, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.
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.

While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.
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.

You learn to exploit genre for the more important things - to my mind - like story, character, image, language.
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 try not to divide plot and character. I get to know a character by what they want and fear and how those internal forces play out in their lives.
Julianna Baggott
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
Julianna Baggott
I want women writers to write boldly, wildly, deeply. I want them to feel really liberated to tell the brutal truth, however they see that truth and are moved to tell it.
Julianna Baggott
I don't have a favorite. I need different genres at different times.
Julianna Baggott
So far, I should be calm and more specifically not like that...Anything else? Would you like to do surgery on my personality? How about open-heart surgery? I´ve got some tools
Julianna Baggott
Writing stories is the habit of lying put to good use.
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
Weakness, like not being able to bury the past. Weakness, like not giving up hope when you know you should.
Julianna Baggott
Women are constantly underestimated in our power, our reach, our collective pull.
Julianna Baggott
Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.
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
I didn't start writing so that I could more deeply know myself. I was bored of myself, my life, my childhood, my hometown. I started writing as a way to know others, to get away from myself.
Julianna Baggott
I've never thought there was anything I could hope to get by praying for it.
