cuisine evolving people talking whatever whose
You're talking about evolving a cuisine from a people whose cuisine has been whatever we could get for a long time.
mass-destruction bullshit people
I want to remember what bullshit looks like when weapons of mass destruction are diagrammed out and whacko "intelligence" is delivered in an ominous way to strike fear into people and especially to pull on the idealism and zeal of the young.
people evil good-and-evil
People forget the good, because the bad has more punch.
fall knowing people
You know, some people fall right through the hole in their lives. Its invisible, but they come to it after time, never knowing where.
writing people impossible
It's impossible to write about Native life without humor-that's how people maintain sanity.
life people three
Life is made up of three kinds of people -- those who live it, those afraid to, those in between.
book thinking people
There are people who are always, I think, going to remain people of the book, to use another author's title, but people of the book, who really must be around.
dog mad people
Cold sinks in, there to stay. And people, they'll leave you, sure. There's no return to what was and no way back. There's just emptiness all around, and you in it, like singing up from the bottom of a well, like nothing else, until you harm yourself, until you are a mad dog biting yourself for sympathy. Because there is no relenting.
hurt years people
You see I thought love got easier over the years so it didn't hurt so bad when it hurt, or feel so good when it felt good. I thought it smoothed out and old people hardly noticed it. I thought it curled up and died, I guess. Now I saw it rear up like a whip and lash.
words
It was enough just to sit there without words.
thinking earth who-we-are
I think one of the reasons to be here on earth is to finally be who we are, at all times - to know and be predictable to ourselves.
boys childhood way
I had a very free childhood and ranged around on my bicycle the way boys do. I had few restrictions.
sometimes monstrosity persons
Sometimes a person's monstrosity seems superhuman.
girl hair panty-hose
Being a girl didn't really affect me until I entered junior high and had to wear skirts, curl my hair, and even get used to panty hose. However, my hatred of panty hose helped make me a writer who only wears comfortable clothes. I've successfully avoided panty hose for most of my life.
