“For better or for worse, I am my mother's daughter, and her story is my story too. It's mine to carry, mine to hold - with love if I can manage it - and mine to weave into my own.”
Hazel Hayes, Out of Love

Oliver Burkeman
“what you pay attention to will define, for you, what reality is.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It

Oliver Burkeman
“We’ve been granted the mental capacities to make almost infinitely ambitious plans, yet practically no time at all to put them into action.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

“I sit on the balcony with the phone to my ear and as the sun makes its way slowly across the sky, I tell her everything. Not just about the pregnancy test; I tell her all the things we’re afraid to tell our mothers about our partners in case they tell us what we don’t want to hear that we already know: that we should leave them.”
Hazel Hayes, Out of Love

Oliver Burkeman
“The real problem isn’t planning. It’s that we take our plans to be something they aren’t. What we forget, or can’t bear to confront, is that, in the words of the American meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein, “a plan is just a thought.” We treat our plans as though they are a lasso, thrown from the present around the future, in order to bring it under our command. But all a plan is—all it could ever possibly be—is a present-moment statement of intent. It’s an expression of your current thoughts about how you’d ideally like to deploy your modest influence over the future. The future, of course, is under no obligation to comply.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
