Whidbey by T Kira Madden

This is one of those books where I feel like there is a story about editing or change of heart of the author and I wonder what it is - it started out one type of book, and then 2/3 of the way changed entirely into a different type of book. There was ...more

Snafu Edu (Teaching, Engaging, and Thriving in Higher Ed) by Neuhaus
Rate this book
Clear rating
Funny, humane, relatable, and so chockfull of nearly every insight from teaching and learning in the last decade that it feels like a full education. Will be among my top recommendations for anyone who teaches things.

I knew nothing about this book before reading it other than everyone liked it (didn't even read the flap!) and so it was a little startling when it veered from quiet small-town characters and musings to high drama, and maybe made the plot lines a bit ...more

Incredibly hard read at times, and also heartbreaking. Unfathomable to me that so many reviews found the main character unlikeable, because I adored her and spent most of the book desperately wishing I could reach into the pages and rescue her, excep ...more

Quotes by Sarah Rose Cavanagh  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How do we help young people shed their armor, read their physiological arousal as challenge rather than threat, embrace their vulnerability, and leap into not-knowing in order to learn?”
Sarah Rose Cavanagh, Mind over Monsters: Supporting Youth Mental Health with Compassionate Challenge

“Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Father Greg Boyle”
Sarah Rose Cavanagh, Hivemind: The New Science of Tribalism in Our Divided World

“My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn.”
Louis Adamic

“And as much as I’d like to believe there’s a truth beyond illusion, I’ve come to believe that there’s no truth beyond illusion. Because, between ‘reality’ on the one hand, and the point where the mind strikes reality, there’s a middle zone, a rainbow edge where beauty comes into being, where two very different surfaces mingle and blur to provide what life does not: and this is the space where all art exists, and all magic.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“No one in the world gets what they want and that is beautiful.”
They Might Be Giants

“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.”
Philip Roth, American Pastoral

“Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Ahead of All Parting: The Selected Poetry and Prose
