Quotes by Kelly Mustian (?)

“But it always happens you get what you need, a little at a time. You get through a hour, then a day, then a week. Then you look back and it’s been a year, and then more years, and good things found a way in, too. And in time, you see that them you lost are holding you up and moving you on. Helping you see the good. You ain’t done with good things to come.”
― Kelly Mustian, The Girls in the Stilt House

“Because Mississippi has always been steeped in its past, a native writer does not have to dig very deep to find herself immersed in an earlier time. It’s right there, just under the surface, like all those old arrowheads buried under a thin layer of soil.”
― Kelly Mustian, The Girls in the Stilt House

“And that’s the thing with politics. It doesn’t have to be true, what people say when you’re running for office. Rumors and lies will take a person down just as quick as truth.”
