Gail’s Notes & Highlights

Go, Went, Gone by Jenny Erpenbeck

1 highlight

Learning to stop wanting things is probably one of the most difficult lessons of getting old. But if you don’t learn to do that, it seems to him, your desires will be like a bellyful of stones dragging you down into your grave.

Gail’s Quotes

“Perhaps depression is caused by asking oneself too many unanswerable questions.”
― Miriam Toews, Swing Low

“Things shouldn't hinge on so very little. Sneeze and you're highway carnage. Remove one tiny stone and you're an avalanche statistic. But I guess if you can die without ever understanding how it happened then you can also live without a complete understanding of how. And in a way that's kind of relaxing.”
― Miriam Toews, A Complicated Kindness
