More From Anne Lamott
- "My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way."
- "Some people won’t go the extra mile, and then on their birthday, when no one makes a fuss, they feel neglected and bitter."
- "You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
