More quotes by Julianna Baggott
I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.
Julianna Baggott
Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.
Julianna Baggott
My work is to know the characters intimately and to tell their story.
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
Writing stories is the habit of lying put to good use.
Julianna Baggott
I prefer a cluttered workspace.
Julianna Baggott
Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.
Julianna Baggott
The truth is that for those 86 long years when the Red Sox went without a World Series win, fans were not only in a recession, but trapped in a longstanding, deeply entrenched sports depression.
Julianna Baggott
I want to keep looking at ways to stride forward with positivity.
Julianna Baggott
Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life.
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 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
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
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
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
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
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 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.
Julianna Baggott
Are there books about us or something?” This makes Pressia angry - the idea that this world is a subject of study, a story, instead of filled with real people, trying to survive.
Julianna Baggott
Weakness, like not being able to bury the past. Weakness, like not giving up hope when you know you should.
