Louise Erdrich

Louise Erdrich
It is easy to take away the world that we think is so permanent and reliable.
Louise Erdrich
I might not be able to use the word hope, but I could certainly use the word optimism. I'm very optimistic. I don't feel that it helps to be pessimistic. At some point in my life I made a conscious decision that I would try to be optimistic - not blind to anything at all - but to always hear the way that had the best chance for happiness.
Louise Erdrich
The greatest wisdom doesn't know itself. The richest plan is not to have one.
Louise Erdrich
When every inch of the world is known, sleep may be the only wilderness that we have left.
Louise Erdrich
Time is the water in which we live, and we breathe it like fish. ... Time pours into us and then pours out again. In between the two pourings we live our destiny.
Louise Erdrich
