Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Caitlin Doughty
“Exposing a young child to the realities of love and death is far less dangerous than exposing them to the lie of the happy ending.”
Caitlin Doughty, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Joan Didion
“My only advantage as a reporter is that I am so physically small, so temperamentally unobtrusive, and so neurotically inarticulate that people tend to forget that my presence runs counter to their interests.

Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“This is really why I made my daughters learn to garden—so they would always have a mother to love them, long after I am gone.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Sylvia Townsend Warner
“When I die, I hope to think I have annoyed a great many people.”
Sylvia Townsend Warner, The Diaries of Sylvia Townsend Warner
