  • Quotation Monday #130: Uncomfortable things

    “It’s good to do uncomfortable things. It’s weight training for life.”

    ― Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

  • Quotation Monday #129: Reading

    “I do not feel obliged in my reading. I read to be entertained and to relax, and to go into another world, not because it’s good for me.”

    ― Nora Roberts

  • Quotation Monday #128: Out of control

    “Some things in life are out of your control. You can make it a party or a tragedy.”

    ― Nora Roberts, Vision in White

  • Quotation Monday #127: Depression

    “Because that’s the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don’t want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lungs. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It’s mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time.”

    ― Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

  • Quotation Monday #126: the woo

    “He was wooing me. And I was letting him woo. I wanted the woo. I deserved the woo. I needed the wow that would surely follow the woo, but for now, the woo? It was whoa.”

    ― Alice Clayton, Wallbanger

  • Quotation Monday #125: Kissing

    “A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.”

    ― Ingrid Bergman

  • Quotation Monday #124: Question

    “Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it?”

    ― Jennifer E. Smith, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

  • Quotation Monday #123: Buy books you don’t even read

    “Books can be possessive, can’t they? You’re walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what’s inside will change your life, but sometimes you don’t even have to read it. Sometimes it’s a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven’t even had their spines cracked. ‘Why do you buy books you don’t even read?’ our daughter asks us. That’s like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”

    ― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

  • Quotation Monday #122: Looks

    “It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you.”

    ― Roald Dahl, The Witches
