QUOTES BY Sue Monk Kidd


Someone who thinks death is the scariest thing doesn't know a thing about life.

If you need something from somebody always give that person a way to hand it to you.

It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening.

Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.

I have noticed that if you look carefully at people's eyes the first five seconds they look at you, the truth of their feelings will shine through for just an instant before it flickers away.

After you get stung, you can't get unstung no matter how much you whine about it.

The world will give you that once in awhile, a brief timeout; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life.

All my life I've thought I needed someone to complete me, now I know I need to belong to myself.

People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that hard.
