Alice’s Notes & Highlights

Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell

1 note & 1 highlight

Don’t date broken girls, my mother said. “But they deserve to be loved too.” And so I loved a broken girl more than anything; I just didn’t realize she would break me too.

Ouch, this one hurts.

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”

“One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts--just mere thoughts--are as powerful as electric batteries--as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
