Anne Lamott

Quotes are great, aren’t they, but I often wonder who these people are and why their words should matter to us. This quote for example is a great one, but who is Anne Lamott?

According to Wikipedia, Anne Lamott (born April 10, 1954) is an American novelist and non-fiction writer.

She is also a progressive political activist, public speaker, and writing teacher. Lamott is based in Marin County, California. Her nonfiction works are largely autobiographical.^[1] Lamott’s writings, marked by their self-deprecating humor and openness, cover such subjects as alcoholism, single-motherhood, depression, and Christianity.^[2]

A great quote is a great quote. It probably doesn’t make any difference to most where it came from. I can’t guarantee that I’ll remember anything I learned about Anne, but I certainly won’t forget the quote 🙂

Have a great day!
