Sue Monk Kidd Zitate

I knew from reading about Sarah Grimke that she'd been given a handmaid to be her personal slave and that her name was Hetty. The only other fact I knew about her was that Sarah taught her to read: They conspired in a very subversive way, by locking the door and screening the keyhole.

Ich wusste, dass ich von Sarah Grimke gelesen hatte, dass sie eine Dienerin als persönliche Sklavin bekommen hatte und dass sie Hetty hieß. Die einzige andere Tatsache, die ich über sie wusste, war, dass Sarah ihr Lesen beigebracht hatte: Sie verschachtelten sich auf sehr subversive Weise, indem sie die Tür verriegelten und das Schlüsselloch durchsuchten.

I know one writer who has been subscribing authors without their permission and sending out what she thinks are helpful advice sheets, but they come off as if she's a know-it-all. She thinks she's marketing herself and her work. All she's really doing is turning readers off.

Comedy is a reaction to the world, and I think it really helps to be an outsider. I've always been very interested in people's behavior, to the point of being obsessed - seeing what people needed and reading them, I think that's the backbone of comedy.

I always know exactly where my stories take place, which gives me something certain so I can use my imagination for the other stuff. I worry though, who wants to keep reading stories about Kalamazoo?

My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she's hot, that's a very human reaction, but you don't go and tell your spouse that, you know? So in one way it's how you behave.
