Quotes

The effect is both domestic and wild, equal parts geometric and chaotic. It's the visual signature of small, diversified farms that creates the picture-postcard landscape here, along with its celebrated gastronomic one. Couldn't Americans learn to love landscapes like these around our cities, treasuring them not just gastronomically but aesthetically, instead of giving everything over to suburban development? Can we only love agriculture on postcards? Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "If men only knew, modesty makes women fall in love faster than..."
If men only knew, modesty makes women fall in love faster than all the cock-a-doodling in the world. Barbara Kingsolver
But other people fast or walk long pilgrimages to honor the spirit of what they believe makes our world whole and lovely. If we gardeners can, in the same spirit, put our heels to the shovel, kneel before a trench holding tender roots, and then wait three years for an edible incarnation of the spring equinox, who's to make the call between ridiculous and reverent? Barbara Kingsolver
Love. But the pure kind of love. I don't think that comes very often. Most of us are ordinary. If we do anything great, it's only so we'll be loved ourselves. Maybey just for ten minutes. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "God, why does a mortal man have children? It is senseless to..."
God, why does a mortal man have children? It is senseless to love anything this much. Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver quote: "A flower is a plant's way of making love."
A flower is a plant's way of making love. Barbara Kingsolver
I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render. Barbara Kingsolver
Yet I stake a claim, I am here, for I must be somewhere. But only as a child it seems, struggling to understand what every wife and gentleman passing on the street seems to know by rote. Whom to love, whom to castigate. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Peace and Love, get high and fly with the dove."
Peace and Love, get high and fly with the dove. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "I thought I wouldn't live through it. But you do. You learn..."
I thought I wouldn't live through it. But you do. You learn to love the place somebody leaves behind for you. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "People love to read about sins and errors, but not their own."
People love to read about sins and errors, but not their own. Barbara Kingsolver
This is how moths speak to each other. They tell their love across the fields by scent. There is no mouth, the wrong words are impossible, either a mate is there or he is not, and if so the pair will find each other in the dark. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "You could love your crazy people, even admire them, instead of..."
You could love your crazy people, even admire them, instead of resenting that they're not self-sufficient. Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "But children robbed of love will dwell on magic."
But children robbed of love will dwell on magic. Barbara Kingsolver
