"This book is incredibly frustrating and I have MANY THOUGHTS about it. I find myself violently agreeing with one chapter and then wanting to throw the book out the window after the next chapter! I have bitched about this book and author to my husband ad nauseum." May 04, 2026 07:18AM

Pablo Picasso
“Everything you can imagine is real.”
Pablo Picasso

James Baldwin
“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”
James A. Baldwin

Oscar Wilde
“Who, being loved, is poor?”
Oscar Wilde

C.S. Lewis
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses

James Baldwin
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
