Barbara Kingsolver
“I'm of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved.”
Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver
“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Jane Austen
“My good opinion once lost is lost forever.”
Jane Austin, Pride and Prejudice

Barbara Kingsolver
“In a world as wrong as this one, all we can do is make things as right as we can.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Bean Trees

Barbara Kingsolver
“I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life-insurance policy or a life sentence. I can understand a wrathful God who'd just as soon dangle us all from a hook. And I can understand a tender, unprejudiced Jesus. But I could never quite feature the two of them living in the same house. You wind up walking on eggshells, never knowing which... is at home at the moment.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible
