Louise Erdrich

Quotes

• “Getting blown up happened in an instant; getting put together took the rest of your life.”

• “When we’re young, we think we are the only species worth knowing. But the more I come to know people, the better I like ravens.”

• “Earth and sky touch everywhere and nowhere, like sex between two strangers. There is no definition and no union for sure.”

• “Effortless. Easy. The lack of trying is what makes them lovely. We all try too hard. Striving wears down our edges, dulls the best of us.”

• “Laughter is our consolation prize for consciousness.”
