Book cover for Afterthoughts: or Some Pistachios Won't Open – Wisdom for the Unreflective
Be so happy that, when other people look at you, they become happy too. But not so happy that they become jealous. What you’re looking for is a kind of stupid happy that no one envies.

Leigh Bardugo
“Fear is a phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and still it will return.”
Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

Leigh Bardugo
“No mourners, no funerals. Another way of saying good luck. But it was something more. A dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose.”
Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

Ruth Ozeki
“Why was it that women could never work hard enough to quiet their nagging fear that they were not enough? That they were falling behind? That they could and should be better?”
Ruth Ozeki, The Book of Form and Emptiness

Leigh Bardugo
“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

Leigh Bardugo
“I don’t hold a grudge. I cradle it. I coddle it. I feed it fine cuts of meat and send it to the best schools. I nurture my grudges, Rollins.”
Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
