Alicia’s Notes & Highlights

Persuasion by Jane Austen

1 highlight

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.”

“Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.

Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.

Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

- Rain”
― Raymond Carver, All of Us: The Collected Poems

“Aunque puede que desee una vida libre de preocupaciones y llena de buena suerte, una y otra vez vuelvo a las dificultades, a las preocupaciones, a la vida complicada y pienso: es mejor así. Me hace aprender más. No soy peor persona por esto. No estoy estropeando nada. » (Carta 226, La Haya, 12 o 13 de mayo de 1882) «”
― Liesbeth Heenk, Van Gogh y sus Cartas a Theo: Más allá de la Leyenda (Misterios de Van Gogh nº 2)
