Lizzy’s Notes & Highlights

Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid

1 highlight

I left you just a moment ago, and yet I still miss the sound of your voice, the way you smell like coconuts. I can’t believe you didn’t know you smell like coconuts! It breaks my heart that no one had been smelling your hair.

Lizzy’s Quotes

“She asked if my foster was still being an asshole, and I told her a person could get used to anything except hanging by the neck. Something I'd heard from Mr. Peg.”

― Chris Whitaker, All the Colors of the Dark

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
