Barbara Kingsolver Quotes About Hunger

Quotes about: Hunger

  when I hunger for a purpose as perfect and sure
  as a single daily egg.

  Life, Eggs, Perfect

  Barbara Kingsolver, “Apotheosis”

• Hunger of the body is altogether different from the shallow, daily hunger of the belly. Those who have known this kind of hunger cannot entirely love, ever again, those who have not.

  Different, Body, Kind

  Barbara Kingsolver (2008). “The Poisonwood Bible”, p.291, Faber & Faber

• Sometimes I still have American dreams. I mean literally. I see microwave ovens and exercise machines and grocery store shelves with 30 brands of shampoo, and I look at these things oddly, in my dream. I stand and think, "What is all this for? What is the hunger that drives this need?" I think it's fear. Codi, I hope you won't be hurt by this, but I don't think I'll ever be going back. I don't think I can.
