Barbara Kingsolver Quotes
We Do Have Some Strong Traditions Of Community In The United States, But It's Interesting To Me That Our Traditionally Patriotic Imagery In This Country Celebrates The Individual, The Solo Flier, Independence. We Celebrate Independence Day; We Don't Celebrate We Desperately Rely On Others Day. Oh, I Guess That's Mother's Day [laughter]. It Does Strike Me That Our Great American Mythology Tends To Celebrate Separate Achievement And Separateness, When In Fact Nobody Does Anything Alone.
