Kathleen Tessaro quotes

My husband claims I have an unhealthy obsession with secondhand bookshops. That I spend too much time daydreaming altogether. But either you intrinsically understand the attraction of searching for hidden treasure amongst rows of dusty shelves or you don't; it's a passion, bordering on a spiritual illness, which cannot be explained to the unaffected. (Kathleen Tessaro)

Most people assume that a muse is a creature of perfect beauty, poise and grace. Like the creatures from Greek mythology. They're wrong. In fact, there should be a marked absence of perfection in a muse--a gaping hole between what she is and what she might be. The ideal muse is a woman whose rough edges and contradictions drive you to fill in the blanks of her character. She is the irritant to your creativity. A remarkable possibility, waiting to be formed.

If you can capture a womans imagination, then you will have her. But imagination is a strange creature. It needs time and distance to function properly.

Kathleen Tessaro

There are no great fanfares for the truly great moments of your life. Just dripping taps and the sound of your own footsteps, walking from one room into another.

Kathleen Tessaro

The universe is bound by unseen threads. We have only to untangle them a little to see a pattern unfold.

Kathleen Tessaro

There is nothing more difficult than simplicity, and therefore, nothing more refined.
