Favorite Gretel Ehrlich Quotes

1. "The truest art I would strive for in any work would be to give the page the same qualities as earth: weather would land on it harshly; light would elucidate the most difficult truths; wind would sweep away obtuse padding." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
2. "Autumn teaches us that fruition is also death; that ripeness is a form of decay. The willows, having stood for so long near water, begin to rust. Leaves are verbs that conjugate the seasons." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
3. "True solace is finding none, which is to say, it is everywhere." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
4. "All through autumn we hear a double voice: one says everything is ripe; the other says everything is dying. The paradox is exquisite. We feel what the Japanese call "aware"--an almost untranslatable word meaning something like "beauty tinged with sadness." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
5. "Like water, I have no skin...only surface tension. (Gretel Ehrlich)" ~ Gretel Ehrlich
6. "Some days I think this one place isn't enough. That's when nothing is enough, when I want to live multiple lives and be allowed to love without limits. Those days, like today, I walk with a purpose but no destinations. Only then do I see, at least momentarily, that everything is here." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
7. "The retreat and disappearance of glaciers—there are only 160,000 left—means we're burning libraries and damaging the planet, possibly beyond repair. Bit by bit, glacier by glacier, rib by rib, we're living the Fall." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
8. "A sense of panic ensued, but panic is like fresh air. The world falls out from under us and we fly, we float, we skim mountains, and every draught we breathe is new. Exposed and raw, we are free to be lost , to ask questions. Otherwise we seize up and are paralyzed by self-righteousness, obsessed with our own perfection. If there is no death and regeneration, our virtues become empty shells" (199)-- Ehrlich's _A Match to the Heart_." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
9. "Walking is also an ambulation of mind." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
10. "The toughness I was learning was not a martyred doggedness, a dumb heroism, but the art of accommodation. I thought: to be tough is to be fragile; to be tender is to be truly fierce." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
11. "Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are." ~ Gretel Ehrlich
