More quotes by Sherman Alexie
If one reads enough books, one has a fighting chance.
Sherman Alexie
Poverty doesn’t give you strength or teach you lessons about perseverance. No, poverty only teaches you how to be poor.
Sherman Alexie
Sometimes it's called passing out and sometimes it's just pretending to be asleep
Sherman Alexie
I look more Indian when I'm serious.
Sherman Alexie
One play can change your momentum forever.
Sherman Alexie
Certainly I'm angry at the way Indians have been treated and continue to be treated. But I don't think it's a helpless emotion.
Sherman Alexie
I end up feeling like a spy in the house of ethnicity, you know? Because people will talk around me as they would talk around the people in their cultural group. So I get to hear all the secrets and jokes and you know, I'm a part of every community because of the way I look.
Sherman Alexie
I was a controversial figure on my reservation when I was a kid. I was mouthy and opinionated and arrogant. Nothing has changed.
Sherman Alexie
If you're good at it, and you love it, and it helps you navigate the river of the world, then it can't be wrong.
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
I got hundreds of emails insulting me, accusing me of being some caveman. I am by no means a Luddite. I have two iPods. I have a cell phone. I have cable TV, HDTV!
Sherman Alexie
My father was always depressed. When he was home and sober, he was mostly in his room.
Sherman Alexie
There are all kinds of addicts, I guess. We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away. (107)
Sherman Alexie
Estranged from the tribe that gives no protection, What happens to the soul that hates its reflection?
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 used to think the world was broken down by tribes, I said. By black and white. By Indian and white. But I know that isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: The people who are assholes and the people who are not.
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
If I wasn't writing poems I'd be washing my hands all the time.
Sherman Alexie
Every movie is a road movie. Every novel is a mystery. Every tortilla chip is sacred.
Sherman Alexie
I ain't interested in the truth. I'm interested in the way things should be.
