Deanna’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Adrift: The Truth Won't Always Set You Free

Adrift: The Truth Won't Always Set You Free by Lisa Brideau

1 highlight

The old ways weren’t working anymore, but people were desperate to stick to what had once made them prosperous and so many stubbornly refused to adapt. Refused to change.

Relevant to so many things these days (and maybe always).

“Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go around looking for it, and I think it can be poisonous. I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency'.”
― Kurt Vonnegut , Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!

tags: decency, humor, love, respect

“There is no peace, I'm sorry to say. We find it. We lose it. We find it again. We lose it again.”

“Since Alice had never received any religious instruction, and since she had led a blameless life, she never thought of her awful luck as being anything but accidents in a very busy place. Good for her.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!
