Barbara Kingsolver Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. April 8, 1955
Birthday: April 8
The moth settled onto the curtain and sat still. It was an astonishing creature, with black and white wings patterned in geometric shapes, scarlet underwings, and a fat white body with black spots running down it like a snowman's coal buttons. No human eye had looked at this moth before; no one would see its friends. So much detail goes unnoticed in the world.
