“A lot of time you write out of some unconscious place. I try to trust ...” — Sue Monk Kidd Quote

“A lot of time you write out of some unconscious place. I try to trust what is coming and where it wants to take me.”

“Every writer has their rituals. For me, it's morning walks along the beach. And then, in my study I have a huge painting of the Black Madonna hung over my desk, and quite a few pictures of Mary around me for inspiration.”

“I never know how to give advice to a writer because there's so much you could say, and it's hard to translate your own experience. But of course, I always try. The main thing that I usually end up saying is to read a lot. To read a great deal and to learn from that.”

“I believe in the unconscious state of the mind in death.”

“The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.”
