Caren’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin

2 highlights

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

“To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is..... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it.”

“People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.”
