The dedication is stunning: “to those out on their own paths, setting little fires”

“When you have worries about things you don’t know about, like the future, it’s a very good idea to remind yourself of things you do know.”

‘We only know what we perceive. Everything we experience is ultimately just our perception of it.’ “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”

“… it would have made things a lot easier if we understood there was no way of living that can immunize you against sadness. And that sadness is intrinsically part of the fabric of happiness. You can’t have one without the other.”

“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fails. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it.”

“As if there was a very thin path to a happy life and it was the path he had decided for her. As if her own agency in her own life was automatically wrong.”

“Maybe in some lives you just float around and expect nothing else and don’t even try to change.”

“He descended from Olympus to the hell of illness.”

“… He thought he heard the sound of glass breaking and felt that the essence of his being was pouring out until he was empty, with no memory of the past, no awareness of the present, no hope for the future.”

“Franco’s rebels were hoping to take over the whole country within a week, but came up against unexpected resistance from the working class, organized in militias and determined to defend the rights they had won.”

“This saw the start of a period of unleashed hatred, vengeance and terror that was to cost Spain a million lives. The strategy… was to spill as much blood as possible and to spread terror, the only way they could destroy any hint of resistance from the conquered people.”

How’s the saying go? History repeats itself?

“I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”

“Sometimes it’s easier to be mad at the people close to us, than to be mad at the people who deserve it.”

“Beautiful, not despite her suffering, but because of it.”

“I think that if I did not have another reason to cross you, I would do it for spite.”
