Chriselda

“A truly good book…teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down and commence living on its hint. When I read an indifferent book, it seems the best thing I can do, but the inspiring volume hardly leaves me leisure to finish its latter pages. It is slipping out of my fingers while I read…What I began by reading I must finish by acting.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“This may seem hard to grasp”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient
