Dorothy Allison World Quotations

And while it is true that I got the best woman in the world, I don't think love saves you.

I did things I did not understand for reasons I could not begin to explain just to be in motion, to be trying to do something, change something in a world I wanted desperately to make over but could not imagine for myself.

stories are the one sure way I know to touch the heart and change the world.

People don't do right because of the fear of God or love of him. You do right because the world doesn't make sense if you don't.

I have wanted everything as a writer and a woman, but most of all a world changed utterly by my revelations.

Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I'd rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.
