You don't think you'll live past it and you don't really. The person you were is gone. But the half of you that's still alive wakes up one day and takes over again.
Barbara KingsolverIt's one thing to carry your life wherever you go. Another thing to always go looking for it somewhere else.
Barbara KingsolverIf my setting is new to a reader, or the concerns of the novel are new, I hope they will learn something about the world. I would like to say that they can trust that what they do learn in the novel will be accurate, because I pay a lot of attention to facts. I do a lot of research to make sure that I'm not giving them, you know, blue moons of Jupiter. It's not science fiction.
Barbara KingsolverI write every moment that is humanly possible. I write every day and every night. The only discipline I lack is the discipline is to quit.
