Lidia Yuknavitch Quotes

Underneath the forms of fiction and poetry, you can bet your ass the ground comes from someone’s actual life experience Picture Quote #1

Only when I make movements away from the tribe of indie art and literature. Maybe that’s something important for me to keep thinking about. What you gain, what you lose, why and how. Maybe the edge of the page is the place for me. Maybe that’s OK Picture Quote #1

So yes I know how angry, or naive, or self-destructive, or messed up, or even deluded I sound weaving my way through these life stories at times. But beautiful things. Graceful things. Hopeful things can sometimes appear in dark places Picture Quote #1

The maternal impulse in animals to protect their young - that kind of instinct and subsequent violence is quite beautiful. Mythic even Picture Quote #1

Birth is of course violent. Menstruation is violent. Trust me, if men’s penises opened up once a month and shot blood, we’d be hearing about the violence of it Picture Quote #1

Fiction and poetry expose intimate things from a person’s life every bit as much as memoir does, and sometimes more. I don’t quite see or live the distinction you are making about the forms Picture Quote #1

The practice of employing metaphor and image and composition and linguistic choices to move the reader through the content Picture Quote #1

When someone says something dunderheaded to me about the material, it’s usually a big neon sign revealing their own damage or ignorance, so my compassion kicks in Picture Quote #1

I don’t have much interest in writing if there are not opportunities to crack open the inherited forms. The writing I love to read most does this as well. I’m a form junkie Picture Quote #1

I am not alone. Whatever else there was or is, writing is with me Picture Quote #1

I just want my stories to be mine Picture Quote #1

Make up stories until you find one you can live with Picture Quote #1

Laughter can shake you from the delirium of grief Picture Quote #1

Words carry oceans on their small backs Picture Quote #1

Sometimes saviors look different than you thought they would Picture Quote #1

I drop to the curb like childhood leaving a body Picture Quote #1

Books, like all art, breed in us desire. In times of crisis and fear and misrepresentation we need desire, or else we shut down and hide out in our houses, succumbing to infotainment and the ease of an available latte, turning off our brains and emotions. Books breed desire Picture Quote #1

The rocks. They carry the chronology of water. All things simultaneously living and dead in your hands Picture Quote #1

Aspiration gets stuck in some people. It’s difficult to think yes. Or up. When all you feel is fight or run Picture Quote #1

Your life doesn’t happen in any kind of order. Events don’t have cause and effect relationships the way you wish they did. It’s all a series of fragments and repetitions and pattern formations. Language and water have this in common Picture Quote #1

Have endless patterns and repetitions accompanying your thoughtlessness, as if to say let go of that other more linear story, with its beginning, middle, and end, with its transcendent end, let go, we are the poem, we have come miles of life, we have survived this far to tell you, go on, go on Picture Quote #1
