The moment Eve bit into the apple, her eyes opened and she became free. She exposed the truth of what every woman knows: to find our sovereign voice often requires a betrayal.
Terry Tempest Williams

Terry Tempest Williams
I think that the only thing that can bring us into a place of fullness is being out in the land with other. Then we remember where the source of our power lies.
Terry Tempest Williams
Revolution is not something outside of us, but inside us, begging for our engagement every single day.
Terry Tempest Williams
When I write, I put one foot in front of the other. It's an act of faith. I just follow my heart.
Terry Tempest Williams
The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves.
Terry Tempest Williams
Perhaps the Wilderness we fear is the pause between our own heartbeats, the silence that reminds us we live by grace.
Terry Tempest Williams
Style is like voice, it grows organically from the truth of one's own life experience. Not in terms of chapters, per se, but in terms of stories. It is the story itself that creates an inherent structure.
Terry Tempest Williams
Beauty is transformed over time, and not without destruction.
Terry Tempest Williams
My voice is born repeatedly in the fields of uncertainty.
