Anne Lamott Quotes

When I Was A Child, I Thought Grown-ups And Teachers Knew The Truth, Because They Told Me They Did. It Took Years For Me To Discover That The First Step In Finding Out The Truth Is To Begin Unlearning Almost Everything Adults Had Taught Me, And To Start Doing All The Things They'd Told Me NOT To Do. Their Main Pitch Was That Achievement Equaled Happiness, When All You Had To Do Was Study Rock Stars, Or Movie Stars, Or Them, To See That They Were Mostly Miserable. They Were All Running Around In Mazes Like Everyone Else.
