Text Quotes
I want to keep looking at ways to stride forward with positivity  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I don’t have a favorite. I need different genres at different times.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) My work is to know the characters intimately and to tell their story  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) If I’d learned nothing else, it was this: If you want to be a great writer, be a man. If you can’t be a man, write like one.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) And I know I’m supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry, they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But, after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies, I can’t quite muster the guilt anymore  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I am deeply Catholic and always will be, but I’m no longer a member of the church. I left in 2003 because of the sex abuse scandal  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) What does it mean to be Catholic and not a Catholic? I feel adrift, homeless. My Catholic imagination allows me to see the soul as a lit breath, seeking the divine. It persists  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I’m a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven’t learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope. Deep down, I believe in the human spirit, although sometimes that belief is shaken.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I want women writers to write boldly, wildly, deeply. I want them to feel really liberated to tell the brutal truth, however they see that truth and are moved to tell it.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I’m a writer of faith. I was raised Catholic, and I have a deeply Catholic imagination.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Different genres allow me to not feel so hemmed in by my own voice, tics, style  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) One of the reasons I write in different genres is that I get to have the feeling - even fleetingly - that I’m not just writing like Baggott again. I can escape myself.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) The fact is there are many women who nod politely, even agree openly within their male-dominated often highly educated cultures, but vote their own minds.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) It’s not that I bounce ideas off of my children as much as it is that having children has had a profound effect on the way I see the world. They have mined my soul. They’ve made me a better person and therefore a more empathetic writer.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Writers are socially observant. We find people endlessly fascinating, and real life is mysterious. Sometimes it’s hard to stop staring at the strut and squawk of my fellow man. They can be quite inspiring. Sometimes it’s hard to stop talking to them to see what in the world they’re thinking.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Writing across genres has made me more prolific. When one is fighting me or simply not cutting it, I turn to another.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Literature has done great work for feminism - writing and reading are a practice of empathy - and great literature will continue to do so.  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Beauty, you can find it here if you look hard enough  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I’m a woman, but I’ve been a sexist, too  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Writing stories is the habit of lying put to good use  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) I prefer true over happy now  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Our love is our burden  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Is it wrong to kill something that wants to kill you?  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) She let him go once. Every day demands that she release him over and over again. She clenches her fists and thinks, Will he find me again? And she tells herself, No. Don't want this. Let him go  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Memories are like water  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Writers are socially observant. We find people endlessly fascinating, and real life is mysterious. Sometimes it’s hard to stop staring at the strut and squawk of my fellow man. They can be quite inspiring. Sometimes it’s hard to stop talking to them to see what in the world they’re thinking  (Julianna Baggott Quotes)
