Trust by Hernan Diaz
"Longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize

In his sophomore novel, Hernan Diaz plays with form in intriguing, if not somewhat simplistic ways. The idea of not getting the 'full story' or context, especially in the light of history and certain roles that are" Read more of this review »

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

“Don’t expect perfection and things to go the way you want
them to when it comes to people, business, your prospects,
and your social life. When things don’t go according to your desires, when the weather of life is foul, be creative and
consider what may be the higher reasons why this is
happening and why you must adjust. Perhaps it’s to gain forbearance, patience, inner strength, flexibility, or the
ability to withhold criticism while serving as a loving model.”
