More quotes by Louise Erdrich
The contents of a house can trigger all sorts of revisions to family history.
Louise Erdrich
Women are strong, strong, terribly strong. We don't know how strong until we are pushing out our babies. We are too often treated like babies having babies when we should be in training, like acolytes, novices to high priestesshood, like serious applicants for the space program.
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
I am part of what she thinks is her illness, a symptom of which she thinks she has been cured. She, on the other hand, is what I was looking for.
Louise Erdrich
I think she is confused by the way I want her, which is like nobody else. I know this deep down. I want her in a new way, a way she's never been told about.
Louise Erdrich
I have brothers and was a tomboy, if that's still a designation. It wasn't a stretch for me to think and write as a 13-year-old boy - it is freeing.
Louise Erdrich
I work really out of mythology, so often I work out of a story that has remained lodged inside somehow, or I work out of history, you know, out of a sense of historical inevitability with characters.
Louise Erdrich
I prefer to have some beliefs that don't make logical sense.
Louise Erdrich
Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.
Louise Erdrich
I spend my time dwelling on revenge and try to deal with the monsters crawling out of the ashes.
Louise Erdrich
I knew each person's delusion, the places their records had scratched, where the sounds repeated.
Louise Erdrich
I thought how we might have to yell to be heard by Higher Power, but that's not saying it's not there. And that is faith for you. It's belief even when the gods don't deliver.
Louise Erdrich
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that.
Louise Erdrich
To love another another human in all of her splendor and imperfect perfection , it is a magnificent task...tremendous and foolish and human.
Louise Erdrich
The only time I see the truth is when I cross my eyes.
Louise Erdrich
Freedom, I found is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands.
Louise Erdrich
History works itself out in the living.
Louise Erdrich
To sew is to pray. Men don't understand this. They see the whole but they don't see the stitches. They don't see the speech of the creator in the work of the needle.
Louise Erdrich
We passed over in a sweep of sorrow that would persist into our small forever. We just keep going.
Louise Erdrich
At times the whole sky was ringed in shooting points and puckers of light gathering and falling, pulsing, fading, rhythmical as breathing. All of a piece. As if the sky were a pattern of nerves and our thought and memories traveled across it. As if the sky were one gigantic memory for us all.
Louise Erdrich
