More From Barbara Kingsolver
- "People’s dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It’s what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around."
- "Terms like that, “Humane Society,” are devised with people like me in mind, who don’t care to dwell on what happens to the innocent."
- "Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It’s the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else’s pain is as meaningful as your own."

- "Don’t ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it; and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don’t, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you."― Boris Kodjoe
- "A happy wife is a happy life."― Gavin Rossdale
- "It’s not that I don’t believe in miracles, but I never quite trust that they’re real."― Mariel Hemingway
