Anne Lamott
“Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“Pope Francis says the name of God is mercy. Our name was mercy, too, until we put it away to become more productive, more admired and less vulnerable. We tend to forget it's still there.”
Anne Lamott, Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy

Anne Lamott
“Usually if you pray from the heart, you get an answer—the phone rings or the mail comes, and light gets in through the cracks, so you can see the next right thing to do. That’s all you need.”
Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

Anne Lamott
“One secret of life is that the reason life works at all is that not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day. Another secret is that laughter is carbonated holiness.”
Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

Anne Lamott
“In early sobriety I heard that if you have an idea after ten p.m., it is probably not a good idea—and this was before e-mail.”
Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith
