Louise Erdrich
Numbers, time, inches, feet. All are just ploys for cutting nature down to size.
Louise Erdrich
The length of sky is just about the size of my ignorance. Pure and wide.
Louise Erdrich
You really need to approach each book as if you have been a failure. . . . If you start to believe your flap-copy, you're finished as a writer.

Louise Erdrich
Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position.
Louise Erdrich
Ravens are the birds I'll miss most when I die. If only the darkness into which we must look were composed of the black light of their limber intelligence. If only we did not have to die at all. Instead, become ravens.
Louise Erdrich
The Internet, which seems now so embedded and personal and crucial to our lives, isn't at all - we really shouldn't think of it that way.
Louise Erdrich
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that.
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
But if there was embellishment, it only had to do with the facts.
Louise Erdrich
Freedom, I found is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands.
