To love another another human in all of her splendor and imperfect perfection , it is a magnificent task...tremendous and foolish and human.
Louise ErdrichWhen women age into their power, no wind can upset them, no hand turn aside their knowledge, no fact can deflect their point of view.
Louise ErdrichTo think about love and passion and political correctness all together, it doesn't work. Art has to go way past the political to be effective.
Louise ErdrichCold sinks in, there to stay. And people, they'll leave you, sure. There's no return to what was and no way back. There's just emptiness all around, and you in it, like singing up from the bottom of a well, like nothing else, until you harm yourself, until you are a mad dog biting yourself for sympathy. Because there is no relenting.
Louise Erdrich
