Alyssa’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life

Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life by Shauna Niequist

11 highlights

I need optimism and celebration and hope in the face of violence and despair and anxiety. And because the other road is a dead end.

“The doctrines of Christianity, or the many different theologies, are less true than the true myth because they are only attempts to translate the story, while God has expressed it all more adequately in the real incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection.”
― Walter Hooper, The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume 1: Family Letters, 1905-1931

“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Money should never change one’s values…. Making money is only a report card. It’s a way to tell how you’re doing.”

“We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.”

“Jesus was just a badass. He was a rule breaker. A system-bucking ball buster. He boldly pushed back against social norms and the religious order of the day to engage in his God-given duty to heal the sick, feed the poor, call out injustice, and pave the way for everyone to know the saving grace of faith, hope, and love. The world called him weird and the club called him dangerous. They spit on him, they threw things at him, they drove him away, and hell, eventually they killed him. But Jesus was such a motherfucking badass, he just kept loving.”
― Jamie Wright, The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever
