Quotes by Anne Lamott


If there is one door in the castle
you have been told not to go through, you must.
Otherwise you'll just be arranging furniture
in rooms you've already been in.

Think of a fine painter attempting to capture an inner vision, beginning with one corner of the canvas,
painting what she thinks should be there, not quite pulling it off, covering it over with white paint,
and trying again, each time finding out what her painting isn't, until she finally finds out what it is.
And when you finally do find out what one corner of your vision is;  you're off and running.

This is our goal as writers, I think: to help others have this sense of wonder, of seeing things anew, things that catch us off-guard, that break in on our small bordered worlds.  When this happens, everything feels more spacious.  I think this is how we are supposed to be - present and in awe.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
