When I was little, we lived on 8 acres and my mom had a horse. But when I was 7, my mom kicked my dad out, and then in order to feed us five kids, she got critters cheap or for free and raised them for food. We milked a cow, raised chickens, pigs and beef cattle. We heated our one-story house with wood and stayed cold all winter.

A mathematical proof is beautiful, but when you're finished, it's really only about one thing. A story can be about many things.

I always felt a weird obligation to be adventurous.

Bonnie Jo Campbell Quotes
