Julia Fine
“Forward only, never back. Do not, in your mind, keep a tally of past horrors. Do not question decisions that cannot be unmade, dwell on actions that cannot be undone. The power to equivocate is no power at all, and that you've ever though it to be is your weakness.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“Some questions are birthed, rather than asked, and having been born they will cry until tended. I knew the story of Pandora's box. I knew the cost of Eve tasting the apple. I didn't care. I was led by my desire.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“Here I was, pondering the incongruity of being a mother and an academic, of devoting oneself to two projects, which is to say living a life, which is, I guess, no incongruity at all. Merely living, merely choosing, in each moment, who and what to which you will attend. The Latin, atendere, means to stretch.”
Julia Fine, The Upstairs House

Julia Fine
“Imagine all your life the earth is green and brown and quiet. Your days pass slowly. You celebrate the sun. All magic is of trees and dappled shadows, all mountains peaked eruptions from an old ancestral earth, a ground so sacred there has been no cause to name it.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“You think because you name it and tell it, it becomes? A story is a present, tied with a ribbon and a wish. Real things aren't so easy.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild
