Val’s Notes & Highlights

I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

2 highlights

But sometimes you have to be brave. Sometimes you have to show people what’s important in life. And I have this very strong gut instinct that what I’ve done is the right thing. Maybe not the easy thing – but the right thing.

Once Upon A Coffee (Wishful, #0.5; Meet Cute Romance, #4; Wishful Moments, #3)

Val’s Quotes

“Some parents let their young kids win at games, but mine never did.

I don't think it was because they were particularly competitive, they just wanted to teach me a valuable lesson.

Life is mostly just learning how to lose.”
― Brian K. Vaughan, Saga, Volume 3

“And think about the precise meaning of that term: a Narcissus is not proud. A proud man has disdain for other people, he undervalues them. The Narcissus overvalues them, because in every person's eyes he sees his own image, and wants to embellish it. So he takes nice care of all his mirrors.”
― Milan Kundera, The Festival of Insignificance

tags: existentialism, modernity, narcissism
