Laura Hillenbrand Quotes

Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb Picture Quote #1

It only worked for a little while; the morning after I agreed to go with Universal, an article came out in the Hollywood trade papers, and the secret was out Picture Quote #1

His books were the closest thing he had to furniture and he lived in them the way other men live in easy chairs Picture Quote #1

I lived for four years in the 1930s with these individuals and the only time that I wasn’t thinking about dealing with physical suffering is when I was working on this book. I’ve never been more alive as when I worked on this book Picture Quote #1

His conviction that everything happened for a reason, and would come to good, gave him laughing equanimity even in hard times Picture Quote #1

Every day after lunch when I was writing my first book, I’d nibble a square of fine chocolate and meditate on all that had gone into its creation: the sun and rain that spilled on the cocoa plant, the soil that nourished it, the hands that picked the beans, and so on. My taste of chocolate became a lesson on the interconnectedness of things, and the infinite blessings for which I am grateful Picture Quote #1

And at that point, I think my experience in covering the subject helped me. I think editors felt comfortable with the idea of me telling this story because I had demonstrated that I know this business pretty well Picture Quote #1

Without dignity, identity is erased. In its absence, men are defined not by themselves, but by their captors and the circumstances in which they are forced to live Picture Quote #1
