New Year's Day


So much has happened in the last year: the first anniversary of my second marriage; the monthly deadlines and daily decisions at work; and, in the week before Christmas, leaving a much-loved family house, after over a decade living there.

Quotes by Justine Picardie  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“People are often dismissive of librarians and libraries - as if the words are synonymous with boredom or timidity. But isn't that where the best stories are kept? Hidden away on the library bookshelves, lost and forgotten, waiting, waiting, until someone like me comes along, and wants to borrow them?”
Justine Picardie, Daphne

“Saint Laurent has excellent taste. The more he copies me, the better taste he displays. - Coco Chanel”
Justine Picardie, Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life

“But I've wept so much,' she said to Delay. 'Now I don't cry any more. When you don't cry it's because you no longer believe in happiness.”
Justine Picardie, Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life
