Quotes by Clarissa Estes

• If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more.
• I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.
• How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.
• This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the emotion surrounding the memory to rest.
• The dream is not that you're going to sleep forever, but that you'll rise each day a little holier, a little kinder, a little closer to the heart of the world
