Quotes by Andrea Barrett (?)

“We write in response to what we read and learn; and in the end we write out of our deepest selves.”
― Andrea Barrett

1342 likes

“..one true thing among all these paths is the need to tap a deep vein of connection between our own uncontrollable interior preoccupations and what we're most concerned about in the world around us. We write in response to that world; we write in response to what we read and learn; and in the end we write out of our deepest selves, the live, breathing, bleeding place where the picture form, and where it all begins.”
― Andrea Barrett

“I have no appetite,' she sighed. 'Not for food, not for work. Not for anything.' I looked at her and wondered what I am except appetite.”
