Barbara Kingsolver Quotes

As I Looked At Her There Among The Pumpkins I Was Overcome With The Color And The Intesity Of My Life. In These Moments We Are Driven To Try And Hoard Happiness By Taking Photographs, But I Know Better. The Improtant Thing Was What The Colors Stood For, The Taste Of Hard Apples And The Existence Of Lena And The Exact Quality Of The Sun On The Last Warm Day In October. A Photograph Would Have Flattened The Scene Into A Happy Moment, Whereas What I Felt Was Rapture. The Fleeting Certainty That I Deserved This Space I'd Been Taking Up On This Earth, And All The Air I Had Breathed.
