“I would never have therapy, because who wants to unravel all that knitting? Not wroth the risk, thank you. My daughter, Joanna, has a therapist, although you'd be hard-pressed to know why if you saw the size of her house.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club

Louise Penny
“The four sayings that lead to wisdom:
I was wrong
I'm sorry
I don't know
I need help”
Louise Penny

Emma Straub
“Maybe it was a blessing of childhood that most people couldn’t remember much before they were five—what good would it do to remember life as a savage toddler, totally divorced from societal norms? It was as if each human evolved from being a chimpanzee in a single lifetime. No one wanted to remember the jungle.”
Emma Straub, All Adults Here

Louise Penny
“Where there is love there is courage,
where there is courage there is peace,
where there is peace there is God.
And when you have God, you have everything.”
Louise Penny, The Brutal Telling

“In life you have to learn to count the good days. You have to tuck them in your pocket and carry them around with you. So I’m putting today in my pocket and I’m off to bed.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club
