Natalie Goldberg People Quotations

Never underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.

When you bring the darkness to the table, it doesn't rule you or hurt other people, but when we keep it secret, it's dangerous.

A responsibility of literature is to make people awake, present, alive. If the writer wanders, then the reader, too, will wander.

You don't know what you're doing. You're just hoping that people won't make fun of you. I had no idea how it would turn out.

It’s much better to be a tribal writer, writing for all people and reflecting many voices through us, than to be a cloistered being trying to find one peanut of truth in our own individual mind. Become big and write with the whole world in your arms.
