Nancy’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities

At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber

1 highlight

“Life is too short, too fragile, too precious to hide in the shadows of what might have been. If continuously looking behind, you risk missing the possibilities that lie ahead.”

Nancy’s Quotes

“Bravery is being unafraid of something other people are afraid of. Courage is being afraid, but strong enough to do it anyway.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere

“Someone I loved very much said once to me there is no parallel universe; there is no ‘what could have been if only.’ How I wish there was.”

“Gilbert has never left me, and the circumstances of his death have never for one day diminished, and as I age it feels so strange that the majority of people with whom I come in contact don’t have the slightest inkling that he ever lived. I had him for so much less time than I’ve lived without him, and yet his presence is enormous, though I keep it to myself.”
― Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“Tragedy, accidents especially, rarely come with reasons why. Yet, we look for them everywhere. We blame. We deny. We carry guilt, regrets. Sometimes, and this is hard to accept but you must, it is simply that person’s time to go. We are all here on borrowed time.”
― Heather Webber, At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities

“This was the other side of love. This was the aftermath, the cost, the opposite end of the bargain. This was the dirty, damp confetti and trampled flower petals, stamped into the muddy ground and tossed about by the wind, long after the parade had ended. This was the sad, lonely echo in the hall, now that the dance was over. Here, in this room, was grief. But grief was love in its second shape.”
― Nikki Erlick, The Poppy Fields
