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

“Sometimes normal means what we expect something to be.  Abnormal is when we are surprised.”
Daphne Simpkins, Tricks of the Mind

“all mothers have to learn that—to let go of their children.  It always hurts, and then you reach that point where you have to let go of yourself, too.  Let go of yourself as a mother. That part is a surprise,”
Daphne Simpkins, Mildred Budge in Cloverdale

“lot of getting along with other people is more about making a decision that you want to get along and then doing whatever is necessary to keep the peace.”
Daphne Simpkins, A Cookbook For Katie: Upon the Occasion of Her Marriage Recipes and Reveries for the Bride

“They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days.”
Garrison Keillor, Good Poems for Hard Times

“Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content”
Helen Keller

“I think it's good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone.”
Amy Sedaris, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence

“But it is smarter to see these expectations as signals that the workplace has failed to create the satisfying feedback loops that have multiplied in other aspects of our lives. Research from the Young Entrepreneur Council shows that 80 percent of millennials would prefer to get feedback in “real time.” A 2014 Millennial Impact Report showed that “more than half (53%) of respondents said having their passions and talents recognized and addressed is their top reason for remaining at their current company.”
Jeremy Heimans, New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World—and How to Make It Work for You

“They were raised as part of a “trophy generation,” recognized for the act of participation rather than the level of performance, getting medals and lavish praise just for completing the race. The parenting philosophy that governed their early years—build self-esteem above all—conspires to deliver the same artificial feedback loops as most social networks: persuading the individual that the ordinary moments of their lives are actually of extraordinary value. Those who enter the workplace with this mindset often find that reality bites hard. And so do their bosses.”
Jeremy Heimans, New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World—and How to Make It Work for You
