More quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.
Terry Tempest Williams
I come from a culture that embodies the need to convert others to the truth. The Mormon Church has one of the largest missionary programs in the world. That does not interest me.

Terry Tempest Williams

Terry Tempest Williams
The Eyes of the Future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time.
Terry Tempest Williams
This is the sorcery of literature. We are healed by our stories.
Terry Tempest Williams
I wonder about silence. Also about darkness. I love the idea that city lights are a conspiracy against higher thoughts.
Terry Tempest Williams
There are two important days in a woman's life: the day she is born and the day she finds out why.
Terry Tempest Williams
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES when we go against our instincts? What are the consequences of not speaking out? What are the consequences of guilt, shame, and doubt?
Terry Tempest Williams
We forget the nature of true power. The power within is abundance. The power without is greed.
Terry Tempest Williams
Sometimes you have to disclaim your country and inhabit another before you can return to your own.
