I recommend books at lucyfuggle.substack.com (previously at Tolstoy Therapy), love going on adventures, and wrote Mountain Song about my time living in Switzerland.

I mostly read literary fiction and have a weakness for beautifully written and illustrated books.

I grew up on a farm in a quiet English village and now live in Copenhagen (and eat too many excellent pastries).

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

“I wanted to live how I really wanted, even if that meant turning against what everyone I knew was doing. I didn’t want to be close to the action or save on rent by sharing space anymore. I wanted to live somewhere with quiet views of the mountains, surrounded by nature and with plenty of time to sit, read, write and think.”
Lucy Fuggle

“There’s never one right path. There are thousands of versions of your life where you have the most fantastic time. You can never choose all of them. But you can realise when you’re feeling stuck and take a small step in a different direction. Even when you have no idea where you’re going, you can follow your curiosity, just to see where it takes you. You don’t need a calling or grand mission. It’s more than enough to make your life a gentle pursuit of love, joy, and curiosity.”
Lucy Fuggle, Your Life in Bloom: A Manual on Courage and Finding Your Path for When You Need it Most

“I wanted to see the light change on the horizon, to notice the pinky-orange alpenglow illuminating the mountains as the day fell away and to know the comings and goings of the birds. I wanted to have places to explore and escape to. I wanted to live on my terms, no matter what people thought of that. And I managed, somehow, to actually do it.”

“The best arguments in the world won't change a person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“So much seems impossible until it happens. But perfect opportunities do exist and when they come into your life, you can either feel unworthy or not ready and push them away, or you can accept them with a heartfelt thank you. It’s so easy to say no to everything you’ve ever wanted. The hardest thing can be to say yes.”
Lucy Fuggle

“Commit to falling in love with the good in the world. Stop to notice the beauty in all things. And with time, but no rush, remember how you are just another part of the universe, just like the birds, trees, mosses, and animals that warm your heart.”
