More quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
There is nothing perfect...only life.
Sue Monk Kidd
In the photograph by my bed my mother is perpetually smiling on me. I guess I have forgiven us both, although sometimes in the night my dreams will take me back to the sadness, and I have to wake up and forgive us again.

Sometimes you want to fall on your knees and thank God in heaven for all the poor news reporting that goes on in the world.

Sue Monk Kidd
Sunset is the saddest light there is.
Sue Monk Kidd

Sue Monk Kidd
There is no place so AWAKE and ALIVE as the edge of becoming.
Sue Monk Kidd
We are so limited, you have to use the same word for loving Rosaleen as you do for loving Coke with peanuts. Isn't that a shame we don't have many more ways to say it?
Sue Monk Kidd
I believe in the goodness of imagination.
Sue Monk Kidd
All my life I've thought I needed someone to complete me, now I know I need to belong to myself.
Sue Monk Kidd
From now on when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I planned to say, Amnesiac.
Sue Monk Kidd
I missed Rosaleen's snoring the way you'd miss the sound of the ocean waves after you've gotten used to sleeping with them. I didn't realize how it had comforted me. Quiteness has a strange, spongy hum that can nearly break your eardrums.
Sue Monk Kidd
Every little thing wants to be loved.
Sue Monk Kidd
How often do we do that, he wondered--look at someone and fail to see what's really there?
Sue Monk Kidd
Nobody should go through life without falling in love.
Sue Monk Kidd
