"There is an odd phenomenon that occurs when one keeps trying to fit and fails. Even though the outcast is driven away, she is at the same time driven right into the arms of her psychic and true kin, whether these be a course of study, an art form, or a group of people.It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires. It is never a mistake to search for what one requires. Never." pg 184
"The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase."
from Women Who Run With the Wolves (Ballantine/ Bertelsmann 1992, 1996) (p.14)
'Women Who Run With the Wolves' Clarissa Pinkola Estes
