Laura’s Notes & Highlights

The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier

1 highlight

Sometimes it’s a sort of indulgence to think the worst of ourselves. We say, “Now I have reached the bottom of the pit, now I can fall no further,” and it is almost a pleasure to wallow in the darkness. The trouble is, it’s not true.

Laura’s Quotes

“Sometimes. But, you know, that feeling? When you wake up in the morning and you have somebody to think about? Somewhere for hope to go? It’s good. Even when it’s bad, it’s good.”
― Casey McQuiston, One Last Stop

“The anxious brain feels as if it should make you run, avoid these scenarios at all costs, but as a human being who observes other people completing these tasks with ease, you force yourself into it. You have to. It’s the only way to make your life work properly, even if it does scare the living shit out of you.”
― Aaron Gillies, How to Survive the End of the World (When it's in Your Own Head): An Anxiety Survival Guide
