Zoraida’s Notes & Highlights

Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes

1 highlight

You are many all on your own.

“You are the sum total of everything that has happened to you up until that last slurp of that cup of tea you just put down. How your parents hugged you, that thing your first boyfriend once said about your thighs – these are all bricks that have been laid from the soles of your feet up. Your eccentricities, foibles and fuck-ups are a beautiful effect of things you saw on telly, things teachers said to you and the way people have looked at you since the first moment you opened your eyes.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“He was always leaning on something, like he couldn’t bear to hold all his own weight upright for more than a second or two. He lounged, he sprawled, he hunched and reclined. He never simply stood or sat. In college, I’d thought he was lazy about everything except writing. Now I wondered if he was simply tired, if life had beaten him into a permanent slouch, folded him over himself so no one could get at the soft center, the kid who dreamed of running away on trains and living in the branches of a redwood.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read
