Louise Erdrich - From the Belief category:
I prefer to have some beliefs that don't make logical sense. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Books category:
- Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country...
I can't imagine a home without an overflow of books. The point of books is to have way too many but to always feel you never have enough, or the right one at the right moment, but then sometimes to find you'd longed to fall asleep reading the Aspern Papers, and there it is. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Dissatisfaction category:
- The Plague of Doves...
What happens when you let an unsatisfactory present go on long enough? It becomes your entire history. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Freedom category:
Freedom, I found, is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Growth category:
Things which do not grow and change are dead things. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Love category:
I was in love with the whole world and all that lived in its rainy arms. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Music category:
-The Plague of Doves...
The music was more than music - at least what we are used to hearing. The music was feeling itself. The sound connected instantly with something deep and joyous. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Prayer category:
-Four Souls...
To sew is to pray. Men don't understand this. They see the whole but they don't see the stitches. They don't see the speech of the creator in the work of the needle. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Questions category:
So what is wild? What is wilderness? What are dreams but an internal wilderness and what is desire but a wildness of the soul? (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Risk category:
-The Painted Drum LP...
You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Silence category:
It was enough just to sit there without words. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Sleep category:
- The Blue Jay's Dance: A Birth Year...
When every inch of the world is known, sleep may be the only wilderness that we have left. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Studio category:
Here I am, where I ought to be. A writer must have a place where he or she feels this, a place to love and be irritated with. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Universe category:
The universe is transformation. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Unknowns category:
You know, some people fall right through the hole in their lives. It's invisible, but they come to it after time, never knowing where. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Words category:
I tried out the unfamiliar syllables. They fit. They cracked in my ears like a fist through ice. (Louise Erdrich)
Louise Erdrich - From the Writing category:
It didn't occur to me that my books would be widely read at all, and that enabled me to write anything I wanted to. And even once I realized that they were being read, I still wrote as if I were writing in secret. That's how one has to write anyway - in secret. (Louise Erdrich)
