Kyle’s Notes & Highlights

Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy

1 highlight

It is really fucking sad that it should take loss to know the precise quality of love.

“You take the bad with the good. Rise up through it. Live in the midst of it. It’s the bad that lets you know how good the good really is. Don’t let the bad leave you thinking like there ain’t no good. There is, and lots of it, too.”
― Charles Martin, Chasing Fireflies

“The only monster you need to worry about in this life is the one that stares at you from the mirror each morning. You tame him, make friends with him, and the rest of life is nothing you can’t handle.”
― Charles Martin, Chasing Fireflies

“It’s lucky no one else knows what our most secret thoughts are. We’d all be seen for the cunning, self-aggrandizing fools we are.”

“Personal importance, or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about “me.”

“The truth of course is that if people really were as happy as they look on the Internet, they wouldn’t spend so much damn time on the Internet, because no one who’s having a really good day spends half of it taking pictures of themselves. Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
