Zitat des Tages von Jane Hamilton:
I think we're all more alike than we want to believe sometimes.
I've always broken out in hives when I go into any organized religious situation.
I'm really glad I had those years working on the orchard alongside my husband.
A lot of the people of the Midwest came from the Northeast. We're of the same stock. Yet something must have happened when we crossed the Ohio River Valley because I have sensed that there's more of an openness and flexibility of spirit out West.
In high school, it was very fashionable to be disdainful of the bourgeois suburbs, but I secretly liked them.
I don't mean it to sound egomaniacal, but in a way, for me, it was very useful to imagine that I was the only one who was taking pen in hand. I'd always been told that it was impossible to be published, so I was writing only for myself.
We didn't have a TV until I was 12.
Author tours used to have a sense of excitement and pleasure, a sense of occasion. I remember stores having a table with wine and food. It was just a real evening.
