We all know we're going to die; what's important is the kind... - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
"We all know we're going to die; what's important is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this."
"We all know we're going to die; what's important is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this."
"If your wife locks you out of the house, you don't have a problem with your door."
"We all know we're going to die; what's important is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this."
"Try looking at your mind as a wayward puppy that you are trying to paper train. You don't drop-kick a puppy into the neighbor's yard every time it piddles on the floor. You just keep bringing it back to the newspaper."
"For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die."
"Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird."
