Kate Braverman Quotes

It’s not platinum, which suggests constellations and redemption. It’s another yellow entirely. Asthma yellow. It comes from rotting petals and camera flashes that permanently scar your face. It leaks from clusters of stucco that remind me of blisters and lumps you get on your lips from kissing the wrong people Picture Quote #1

I’ve written books as acts of discovery: things I need to know and that I need to touch. And it’s very dangerous work to deal with the most toxic internal elements... I feel like Madame Curie at my computer. I feel like I should be hemorrhaging from my eyes and ears Picture Quote #1

I’m manic-depressive, technically bi-polar II with many borderline features Picture Quote #1

There’s a bizarre prejudice that exists in the New York publishing establishment that any work outside the tri-state area is being done by trained chimpanzees, that geography screens out sensibility.

I write a lot by sound. One sound leads me to another. These sounds aren’t random; they have their own logic Picture Quote #1

All good writing is built one good line at a time. You build a novel the same way you do a pyramid. One word, one stone at a time, underneath a full moon while the fingers bleed Picture Quote #1

To be one woman, truly, wholly, is to be all women. Tend one garden and you will birth worlds Picture Quote #1

Writing is like hunting. There are brutally cold afternoons with nothing in sight, only the wind and your breaking heart. Then the moment when you bag something big. The entire process is beyond intoxicating Picture Quote #1
