Barbara Kingsolver Quotes About Moon

• En mis peores temporadas, he vuelto del mundo sin color de la desesperación obligándome a mirar fijamente, durante mucho tiempo, una sola cosa gloriosa: una llama de geranio rojo junto a la ventana de mi habitación. Y luego otra: mi hija con un vestido amarillo. Y otra: el contorno perfecto de una esfera llena y oscura detrás de la luna creciente. Hasta que aprendí a volver a enamorarme de mi vida. Como una víctima de apoplejía que reentrena nuevas partes del cerebro para captar habilidades perdidas, me he enseñado a mí misma la alegría, una y otra vez(15).

• But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after - oh, that's love by a different name. She is the babe you hold in your arms for an hour after she's gone to sleep. If you put her down in the crib, she might wake up changed and fly away. So instead you rock my the window, drinking the light from her skin, breathing her exhaled dreams. Your heart bays to the double crescent moons of closed lashes on her cheeks. She's the one you can't put down.

• It feels strange to me to be living in a box, hiding from the steadying influence of the moon; wearing the hide of a cow, which is supposed to be dyed to match God-knows-what, on my feet; making promises over the telephone about things I will do at a precise hour next year.

• Si mi escenario es nuevo para un lector, o las preocupaciones de la novela son nuevas, espero que aprendan algo sobre el mundo. Me gustaría decirles que pueden confiar en que lo que aprendan en la novela será exacto, porque presto mucha atención a los hechos. Investigo mucho para asegurarme de que no les estoy dando, ya sabes, lunas azules de Júpiter. No es ciencia ficción.
