Favorite Jean Hegland Quotes

1. "I think unconsciously I was afraid that if she asked me how I felt, my unleashed grief and rage would kill us all. In some unadmitted corner of myself I was already weeping and screaming and begging her not to leave me, not to go. If I started crying for real, only her comfort could make me stop, and if she died before she had finished comforting me, then I would be left to cry forever." ~ Jean Hegland
2. "It's a physical urge, stronger than thirst or sex. Halfway back on the left side of my head there is a spot that longs for the jolt of a bullet, that yearns for that fire, that final empty rip. I want to be let out of this cavern, to open myself up to the ease of not-living. I am tired of sorrow and struggle and worry. I am tired of my sad sister. I want to turn out the last light." ~ Jean Hegland
3. "This body is yours. No one can ever take it from you, if only you will accept yourself, claim it again--your arms, your spine, your ribs, the small of your back. It's all yours. All this bounty, all this beauty, all this strength and grace is yours. This garden is yours. Take it back. Take it back." ~ Jean Hegland
4. "So my sister dances and the dead house burns, and I scrawl these few last words by the light of its burning. I know I should toss this story, too, on those flames. But I am still too much a storyteller -or at least a storykeeper-still too much my father's daughter to burn these pages." ~ Jean Hegland
5. "In some ways we were more remote than strangers because strangers at least have the possibility of yet unmade connections." ~ Jean Hegland
6. "All that attacks is memory, all I suffer is regret." ~ Jean Hegland
7. "Beyond us I could see the mountains rising blue and hazy, and I knew I had only to cross them and keep on walking to catch up with all my dreams." ~ Jean Hegland
8. "I was aghast by the betrayal those thoughts represented, by the callous creature they proved me to be." ~ Jean Hegland
9. "The walls inside were charred from some ancient fire, blackened and lichened and weathered hard, smelling faintly of a smoke so old there may be no one still alive who could possibly remember the flame." ~ Jean Hegland
