Maja’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for We All Want Impossible Things

We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman

11 highlights

I picture her mind like a bar, her thoughts and memories nursing their last round. It’s closing time, and you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Americanah

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”

“Allein hier draußen wurde mir mit einem körperlichen Schmerz bewusst, dass ich meine Zeit nicht genutzt hatte. Um Minuten gekämpft, wenn es darum ging, einen Bus noch zu erreichen. Jahre verschwendet, weil ich nicht das getan hatte, was ich wollte.”
― Benedict Wells, Vom Ende der Einsamkeit

“Relationships in life don't really end, even if you never see the person again. Every person you've been close to lives on somewhere inside you. Your past lovers, your parents, your friends, people both alive and dead (symbolically or literally)--all of them evoke memories, conscious or not.”
― Lori Gottlieb, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
