Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

1 highlight

How can you help someone who won’t be helped while realizing that if you don’t try to help, then you’re not being a friend at all?

This Thing Between Us

by Gus Moreno

“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”
― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
