Louise Erdrich
Society is like this card game here, cousin. We got dealt our hand before we were even born, and as we grow we have to play as best as we can.
Louise Erdrich
I don't pray. When I was young, I vowed I never would be caught begging God. If I want something I get it for myself. I go to church only to show the old hens they don't get me down.
Louise Erdrich
Every so often something shatters like ice and we are in the river of our existence. We are aware.
Louise Erdrich
I got well by talking. Death could not get a word in edgewise, grew discouraged, and traveled on.
Louise Erdrich
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that.
Louise Erdrich
