Danielle’s Notes & Highlights

Afterlife by Marcus Sakey

2 highlights

There were a few moments in a life when everything changed. Intractable moments that divided time into before and after.

“Love can begin in a thousand ways-with a glance, a stare, a whisper or smile, a compliment, or an insult. It continues with caresses and kisses, or maybe frowns and fights. It ends with silence and sadness, frustration and rage, tears, and even, sometimes, joy and laughter. It can last just hours or days, or endure through years and beyond death. It is something we look for, or it finds us. It can be our salvation or our ruin. Its presence exalts us, and its loss or absence desolates us.”
― Sue Johnson, Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships

“Maybe that’s what love is. Believing in the best version of your partner, so they have the courage to believe it themselves.”

“Sitting, years later, watching the last of the ice finally melting on our lake one morning in early April and hearing my husband and children walking through the woods behind me. They were laughing and talking, and I touched for a moment the deepest joy, the kind of joy that was, and still is, entirely enough to fill up my heart for this lifetime.”
― Sue Johnson, Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships
