More quotes by Sherman Alexie
[F]rank knew he was guilty of arrogance and misanthropy, but he compensated by being kind to strangers and tipping really well at restaurants.
Sherman Alexie
I ain't interested in the truth. I'm interested in the way things should be.
Sherman Alexie
When you resort to violence to prove a point, you’ve just experienced a profound failure of imagination.
Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie
All I owe the world is my art.
Sherman Alexie
I know I'll keep writing poems. That's the constant. I don't know about novels. They're hard. It takes so much concentrated effort. When I'm writing a novel it's pretty much all I can do. I get bored. It takes months. Movies do the same thing. It's all-encompassing. It feels like I'm going to end up writing poems, short stories and screenplays.
Sherman Alexie
I'm not a pacifist by any measure, but I'm also fully aware that the reasons I might go to war could be very dubious.
Sherman Alexie
Everyone I have lost in the closing of a door the click of the lock is not forgotten, they do not die but remain within the soft edges of the earth, the ash of house fires and cancer in sin and forgiveness huddled under old blankets dreaming their way into my hands, my heart closing tight like fists. - Indian Boy Love Song #1
Sherman Alexie
He looked into the crowd for approval, saw his mother and father. He waved and they waved back. Smiles and Indian teeth. They were both drunk. Everything familiar and welcome. Everything beautiful.
Sherman Alexie
I write books for teenagers because I vividly remember what it felt like to be a teen facing everyday and epic dangers. I don't write to protect them. It's far too late for that. I write to give them weapons-in the form of words and ideas-that will help them fight their monsters. I write in blood because I remember what it felt like to bleed.
Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie
Summer coming like a car from down the highway.
Sherman Alexie
That's one more thing people don't know about Indians: We love to talk dirty.
Sherman Alexie
One play can change your momentum forever.
Sherman Alexie
I recognize now that the conditions that Indians are living in are the conditions that poor people everywhere are living in.
Sherman Alexie
Every movie is a road movie. Every novel is a mystery. Every tortilla chip is sacred.
Sherman Alexie
He wanted the songs, the stories, to save everybody.
Sherman Alexie
The poetry, if you will, of life is reduced to this sort of dry, scientific, you know, it's the worst sort of précis of who we are.
Sherman Alexie
They put me in a holding cell with a black kid and a white kid and a Chinese kid. We're the United Nations of juvenile delinquents.
