Isolated Places Quotes

• It is unearned love--the love that goes before, that greets us on the way. It's the help you receive when you have no bright ideas left, when you are empty and desperate and have discovered that your best thinking and most charming charm have failed you. Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there.

  Anne Lamott

• I met people when we lived down in Raleigh who'd ask where I grew up, and I'd say about two hours west of Asheville, and they'd say they didn't know there was any North Carolina two hours west of Asheville. It was in many ways an isolated place.

• Todos esos años caí en la gran mentira palaciega de que el duelo debe superarse lo antes posible y en privado. Pero lo que he descubierto es que el miedo al duelo durante toda la vida nos mantiene en un lugar estéril y aislado, y que sólo el duelo puede curar el duelo. El paso del tiempo atenuará la agudeza, pero el tiempo por sí solo, sin la experiencia directa del dolor, no lo curará.

• And there was that letter from the Bramleys—that really made me feel good. You don’t find people like the Bramleys now; radio, television and the motorcar have carried the outside world into the most isolated places so that the simple people you used to meet on the lonely farms are rapidly becoming like people anywhere else. There are still a few left, of course—old folk who cling to the ways of their fathers and when I come across any of them I like to make some excuse to sit down and talk with them and listen to the old Yorkshire words and expressions which have almost disappeared.
