Daisy’s Quotes

“When you divide death by life you find a circle.”
― Colum McCann, Apeirogon

“The first is that everyone—including Mom and Dad—has to do a hard thing. A hard thing is something that requires daily deliberate practice. I’ve told my kids that psychological research is my hard thing, but I also practice yoga. Dad tries to get better and better at being a real estate developer; he does the same with running. My oldest daughter, Amanda, has chosen playing the piano as her hard thing. She did ballet for years, but later quit. So did Lucy.”
― Angela Duckworth, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
