Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

Calypso by David Sedaris

1 highlight

“I don't think a girl ever gets over losing her mom. I'm an adult and it's completely normal and expected for my mom to be dead, but I still feel orphaned sometimes.”
― Jenny Han, P.S. I Still Love You

“It's necessary to learn from the past, to not repeat the same mistakes. And to never forget it was real! This actually happened to us!”
― Shigeru Mizuki, Showa 1953-1989: A History of Japan

“One is the left shoe and the other is the right. They are the same but not interchangeable.”

“I doubt there is a loss in the universe more profound than a daughter losing her mother.”
― Sally Hepworth, The Mother-in-Law

“I’m aware that many things were not better in the 1940s. Underarm deodorants and air-conditioning were woefully inadequate, for instance, so everybody stank like crazy, especially in the summer, and also we had Hitler.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls
