Text Quotes
The sin we commit against each other as women is lack of support. We hurt. We hurt each other. We hide. We project. We become mute or duplicitous, and we fester like boiling water until one day we erupt like a geyser. Do we forget we unravel in grief? (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
John Lilly suggests whales are a culture maintained by oral traditions. Stories. The experience of an individual whale is valuable to the survival of its community. I think of my family stories-Mother’s in particular-how much I need them now, how much I will need them later. It has been said when an individual dies, whole worlds die with them. The same could be said of each passing whale (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I live just outside of Salt Lake City in a place called Emigration Canyon. It’s on the Mormon trail. So I feel deeply connected, not only because of my Mormon roots, which are five or six generations, but because of where we live. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not mindful of the spiritual sovereignty that was sought by my people in coming to Utah (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
To engage in civil disobedience is to feel the abundance of courage, the gratitude for a democracy that still invites us to speak from our hearts, to act from our conscience and have faith in the consequences of moral action. Abundance is a form of consciousness (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
There are two important days in a woman’s life: the day she is born and the day she finds out why. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
The act of civil disobedience is the act of taking our anger and turning it into sacred rage. It is a personal and collective gesture of resistance and insistance. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I appreciate all of the unexpected places, internal and external, that my writing has taken me (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I wonder how it is we have come to this place in our society where art and nature are spoke in terms of what is optional, the pastime and concern of the elite~? (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
In Utah alone, ten million acres are open for business. Their policy is not about the public or the public’s best interest. It is about the oil and gas corporations’ best interests. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I can tell that the Greater Yellowstone from the Tetons, to the Lamar Valley where wolves howl and grizzlies roam, acts as my spine, my range of memory that ties me to landscape of Other. And that the ocean from the rocky coast of Maine, to the Florida everglades, to the looming cliffs at Big Sur, sustain me, remind me we are nothing without salt water, wind, and waves. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Blind obedience in the name of patriotism or religion ultimately takes our lives (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
The choices and decisions we make in terms of how we use the land ultimately affect our very DNA. Environmental issues are life issues. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I wonder about silence. Also about darkness. I love the idea that city lights are a conspiracy against higher thoughts. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I think direct political action, civil disobedience, in particular, is something to be taken very seriously. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Her body was rounded like earth. Stories. Breath . Her eyes have been painted closed. I understand. To tell a story you must travel inward. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
My family lives all around me. We see each other daily. It’s very, very complicated. I think that families hold us together and they split us apart. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Hope radiates outward from the center of our concerns. Hope dares us to stare the miraculous in the eye and have the courage not to look away. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Social change can be seen as a mosaic, taking that which is broken and creating something new (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I would say I am at peace with the mystery of my mother’s journals. Of course, I will always wonder, but isn’t that the creative tension of living with uncertainty? By leaving me her empty journals, my mother has made herself very present. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
In the early days of the Mormon Church, stewardship toward the land was a priority. It was a matter of survival in the desert. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
To hold silence and to be silenced are two very different experiences. And so another theme emerges, that of light and shadow. When we share our voice, who benefits? When we withhold, who benefits? And what are the consequences and costs of both? (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
The pain that we feel when we are making love with someone is that we know it will end. It’s that paradoxical response of joy and suffering. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Revolution is not something outside of us, but inside us, begging for our engagement every single day. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
We find our voice, we lose our voice, we retrieve it, honor it, and hopefully, learn how to share it with others and stand in the center of our power. Translation is a theme. Fear and courage are a theme. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Faith is not about finding meaning in the world, there may be no such thing -- faith is the belief in our capacity to create meaningful lives. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
I worry, that we are a people in a process of great transition and we are forgetting what we are connected to. We are losing our frame of reference. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
Good writing must stay open to the questions and not fall prey to the pull of a polemic, otherwise, words simply become predictable, sentimental, and stale. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
At the heart of Mormonism is a high regard for community. That is its strength. I have great respect for that. (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
We are wearing coats of trust. When one tells a story this is what happens (Terry Tempest Williams Quotes)
