Louise Erdrich Heart Quotations

We do know that no one gets wise enough to really understand the heart of another, though it is the task of our life to try.

You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.

Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position.

In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape. For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world...Once we no longer live beneath our mother's heart, it is the earth with which we form the same dependent relationship, relying...on its cycles and elements, helpless without its protective embrace.

Freedom, I found is not only in the running but in the heart, the mind, the hands.
