“The desire to have it easier is not the trap; that is something the ego naturally desires. Ah, but the price. The price is the trap.”

“No matter where they live or in what time, there are cages waiting always; too small lives into which women can be lured or pushed.”

“The idea in our culture of body solely as sculpture is wrong. Body is not marble. That is not its purpose. Its purpose is to protect, contain, support, and fire the spirit and soul within it, to be a repository for memory, to fill us with feeling - that is the supreme psychic nourishment. It is to lift us and propel us, to fill us with feeling to prove that we exist, that we are here.”

so good!!! Could be better than the 1st one…

Thank god for libraries.

Why is it sooo good?!

How did she come up with that idea as a remedy??🫣

Mhm. I approve the Heat. But the first ~150 pages were quite slow…

SO UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD!!!

slooooowly getting to a point where I’m finally going to be able to read BOOOOKKS😝🙂‍↔️🥳 so EXCITING!!! I’ve missed it :))

“If the woman were able to sit herself down and peer into her own heart, she would see there a need to have her talents, her gifts, and her limitations respectfully acknowledged and accepted. So, to begin healing, stop kidding yourself that a little feel good of the wrong sort will take care of a broken leg. Tell the truth about your wound, and then you will get a truthful picture of the remedy to apply to it.”

“My friends call me the Queen of curiosity with all my questions, but even those questions are the result of having picked through a much larger pile. This is why I like people who draw answers from me without even asking a question, or who seem to answer my questions before I even ask them. This connection gives me the warmest of feelings.”

“Try to enter situations, even ones you know will end in failure, just experience failure.”

(These situations have been the BEST for me, even tho they’re horrible while I’m in them… I learn so much)

“ I just hope you learn to differentiate the parts from the whole. Just because you like one thing about a person, you don’t need to like everything about them. And just because you don’t like one thing about a person, it doesn’t mean that person as a whole isn’t worth your time. I think you should get in the habit of thinking differently.”

The single dad & nanny are so my thing😭 too cute

“Persons who are afraid of being ‘taken for a ride’ or of ‘being trapped’ or who vociferously state their claims over and over again of wanting to ‘be free’ are those who let the gold slip right through their fingers.”

Tas tulkojums brīžiem nav lasāms… “ last week you told me that the reason I wanted to be a just person was because I was kind. But I think it’s because I’m not a just person that I want to be a more just person.” Vai es vnk nesaprotu ang.val.?

neievēroju to, cik daudz TJR’s grāmatas jau esmu izlasījusi… palikušas vēl tikai 3 (neieskaitot šo), lai būtu izlasījusi visas viņas grāmatas. 2 viņas vecākās grāmatas, un jaunākā, kas iznāca šogad :)) might do it???

“I could make myself fit for him.
He could make himself fit for me.
But that’s not true love.”

No matter how the book ends, it will be heartbreaking…

Haven’t read 100 pages in one sitting in a while… I’m going to start getting back into romance books, I’m also starting to crave some fantasy because of autumn…

Jesus.fcking.Christ.

“Ja terapeits pacientam norāda uz kādu “patiesību”, pirms viņš spēj to sadzirdēt vai pieņemt, pacients zaudē uzticēšanos terapeitam; aizsardzības reakcijas pārņem pacientu savā varā, un notiekošais progress ir tikai virspusējs. Pārmērīga interpretēšana ir jauna vai nedroša terapeita pazīme. Terapeits var aizvest pacientu līdz izpratnes durvīm, bet nevajadzētu viņu vilkt iekšā.”

“The desire to force love to live on in its most positive form only is what causes love ultimately to fall over dead, and for good.”

I’m really loving the last few pages.
“Ironically, both aspects of the psyche, the predator and the young potential, reach their boiling point. When a woman understands that she has been prey, bith in the outer and the inner worlds, she can hardly bear it. It strikes at the root of who she is at center, and she plans, as she must, to kill the predatory force.”

Man loti patiik!

“ Stories are medicine. I have been taken with stories since I heard my first. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act anything – we need only listen. “
