Quotes by Carolyn Chute

"If it ran, a Bean would shoot it. If it fell, a Bean would eat it."

Carolyn Chute

"If it ran, a Bean would eat it. If it fell, a Bean would eat it."

Carolyn Chute

"Every time I think I know what's right and wrong, I end up being wrong. All I want to do is explore. I want to see what people would do. I say, 'What would this person do in this situation?' and I write it down. I'm not writing manifestos of my political views."
