“It’s strange how you give the people you love so much power over you.”
― Tara Westover, Educated

“All passion is childish. It's banal and naive. It's nothing we learn; it's instinctive, and so it overwhelms us. Overturns us. It bears us away in a flood. All other emotions belong to earth, but passion inhabits the universe.
That is the reason why passion is worth something, not for what it gives us but for what it demands we risk. Our dignity. The puzzlement of others and their condescending, shaking heads”
― Fredrik Backman, Britt-Marie Was Here

“We are all of us more complicated than the roles we are assigned in the stories other people tell”
― Tara Westover, Educated
