Anne Lamott Quotes

- Some people won't go the extra mile, and then on their birthday, when no one makes a fuss, they feel neglected and bitter.
- If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise.

- My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way.
- Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.
