Dorothy Allison Quotes:

Ocupation: Writer

Life: b. April 11, 1949

Birthday: April 11

There is a place where we are always alone with our own mortality, where we must simply have something greater than ourselves to hold onto-God or history or politics or literature or a belief in the healing power of love, or even righteous anger.... A reason to believe, a way to take the world by the throat and insist that there is more to this life than we have ever imagined.
