"I said, 'Where's all that delivering God's supposed to do?'He snorted. 'You're right, the only deliverance is the one we get for ourselves. The Lord doesn't have any hands and feet but ours.''That doesn't say much for the Lord.''It doesn't say much for us, either."
"I was wishing I had a story like that one to live inside me with so much loudness you could pick it up on a stethoscope."
"Still everyone, including the abbot, had said that he was running away from his grief. They'd had no idea what they were talking about. He'd cradled his grief, almost to the point of loving it. For so long he refused to give it up, because leaving it behind was like leaving her."
"I don't remember what they said, only the fury of their words, how the air turned raw and full of welts. Later it would remind me of birds trapped inside a closed room, flinging themselves against the windows and the walls, against each other."
"Angelina, I think of you as my friend, the dearest of friends, and it tortures me to go against you, but now is the time to stand with the slave. The time will come for us to take up the woman question, but not yet.''The time to assert one's right is when it's denied!"
"Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here."
"Finally, I began to write about becoming an older woman and the trepidation it stirred. The small, telling 'betrayals' of my body. The stalled, eerie stillness in my writing, accompanied by an ache for some unlived destiny. I wrote about the raw, unsettled feelings coursing through me, the need to divest and relocate, the urge to radically simplify and distill life into a new, unknown meaning."
"Look at her good, Lily,' she said, ''cause you're seeing the end of something.''I am?''Yes, you are, because as long as people have been on this earth, the moon has been a mystery to us. Think about it. She is strong enough to pull the oceans, and when she dies away, she always comes back again. My mama used to tell me Our Lady lived on the moon and that I should dance when her face was bright and hibernate when it was dark.' August stared at the sky a long moment and then, turning toward the house, said, 'Now it won't ever be the same, not after they've landed up there and walked around on her. She'll be just one more science project."
"The world was really one bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved."
