Life Quotes Quote by Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There is nothing perfect...only life.”

“I hadn't been out to the hives before, so to start off she gave me a lesson in what she called 'bee yard etiquette'. She reminded me that the world was really one bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.”

“If you need something from somebody always give that person a way to hand it to you.”

“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.”

“Hate is nothing when weighed against survival. (Valentine)”

““There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see”

“Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering.”

““COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT”

“Shock is a merciful condition. It allows you to get through disaster with a necessary distance between you and your feelings.”
