Our songs travel the earth. We sing to one another. Not a single note is ever lost and no song is original. They all come from the same place and go back to a time when only the stones howled.
Louise Erdrich
I had a very free childhood and ranged around on my bicycle the way boys do. I had few restrictions.

Louise Erdrich

Louise Erdrich
Freedom, I found is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands.
Louise Erdrich
We do know that no one gets wise enough to really understand the heart of another, though it is the task of our life to try.
Louise Erdrich
I think one of the most fertile, unexplored areas for poets and fiction writers is the world of science. I become overwhelmed by the science world.
Louise Erdrich
I stood there in the shadowed doorway thinking with my tears. Yes, tears can be thoughts, why not?
Louise Erdrich
When small towns find they cannot harm the strangest of their members, when eccentrics show resilience, they are eventually embraced and even cherished.
Louise Erdrich
Here I am, where I ought to be. A writer must have a place where he or she feels this, the place to love and be irritated with.
Louise Erdrich
When every inch of the world is known, sleep may be the only wilderness that we have left.
Louise Erdrich
We are never so poor that we cannot bless another human being, are we? So it is that every evil, whether moral or material, results in good. You'll see.
Louise Erdrich
Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position.
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.
