Want to puke. Way too forgiving towards Henry. Friends with exes that want you dead and you are happy he is having kids ? Bruh. Unrealistic

❤️ wow what a development

Really good ❤️ so many facts

Fun fact - the explorer Fritioff Nansen mentioned here actually has helped thousands of ethnic Bulgarians go to Bulgaria after the territory we won during the Second Balkan War was eventually given to Greece.Greece revoked their citizenship leaving them stateless and forcefully deported them. Using the “Nansen” passport they were given free passage to go and settle where they wanted after (Bulgaria).

It is infuriating how blind and self absorbed the Victorians were when talking about other races or cultures.

The Victoria Straight is the worst

Be cheerful also, and seek neither external help nor the tranquility that others give.
A man then must stand upright, not be kept upright by others.


Be happy for yourself and do not rely on others to make you happy. Perhaps happiER. This doesn't mean never rely on others or be a loner. Stoicism is all about personal interactions and our relation to Nature. Take when it's given and accept when it's not given.

Nothing is more pathetic than people who run around in circles, "delving into the things that lie beneath" and conducting investigations into the souls of the people around them, never realizing that all you have to do is to be attentive to the power inside you and worship it sincerely
To worship it is to keep it from being muddied with turmoil and becoming aimless and dissatisfied 😭😭😭 ill try

What an interesting musing and it is absolutely fair - having the US station nuclear warheads in the UK as a deterrent also means…. The US can star a nuclear warheads in Europe without the UK even knowing. Isnt it the US’s dark dream to destroy Europe ? Something about envy something….

Military jargon goes over my head

Eye opening- always thought that the evacuation was successful and while the kids were sad to leave home they were still well cared for. As the author says - shipped off and selected as if it was a slave market

Wow evacuating the rich during the ww2 sounds scandalous… and turning into a holiday- what a joke! Then volunteers complaining they were given poor dirty children what the heck

The way he handle’s Laura’s father’s death and the potential death of his own - die far away from him so he wont feel a thing- soulless, sociopathic , escaping feelings, not human.
Sad really.
Rob’s pity party is insufferable. He has accepted he is second tier citizen and doesn’t do anything to do better. 0 logic.

Ugh Laura is also a cheater…

Interesting to see romantic relationships narrated from a guy’s perspective . He is still messed up and confused and dishonest about his own feelings, not introspective enough to understand , he is a kid in a 35 yo body, but still… i feel for him.

2 cheaters together having an awkward moment

Rob is such an asshole. 0 emotional maturity, self pitiful asshole that nothing is ever his fault, ‘sticking with it’ is just crude, relationships are always hard work, hello? He thinks that he can be honest and suddenly that is enough?! That is not maturity, that is some fake Hemingway bs. It is way past the war buddy. I liked him at first and then he had to be a cheater!Who taught him how to be self righteous

Rob is a fucking idiot…. A questionable fake ‘nice guy’ moral for a stranger that cheated on his wife with a 20 yo because of the record collection and losing on a future and a deal of his life!!!?!? The collection may be worth 6 grand but the guy is an asshole + he left it. Other people would have appreciated it more.
Lunatic.

I always think that women are going to save me, lead me through to a better life , that they can change and redeem me.

I wish i had a kindle version so that I can add all the quotes in…

What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?

Perhaps it is the music. I never listened to lyrics. But my mind changed and now I do and just get sadder. Do lyrics make you more cynical?

He loathed her for making feel guilty??
Poor Penny.

Teenage boys are weird
Insightful start

A new Arctic peoples have arrived in my knowledge now after the Inuets and Sami - the Nenets!!!

She suggests using a dominating language when influencing at work …..but somehow I cant imagine saying ‘you do this’ to someone already on the edg3 and in a childish fit. Kind of conflicting views when comparing to other books talking about the use of ‘I’ when communicating your needs

The aggressive dominating boss, screaming may be offering plenty of instructions, but her attention is turned inward on her own rage and inadequacies

The words may be saying look what you have done but the body is saying look what you have done to me.

- “Release me!”
-“No…”
-I hate you
1”There wasnt even a bit of truth in those words”
…
And when his arms only banded even tighter
-“Why me? “
-“I told you, you were mine.”
😭❤️❤️

The toxicity but the love!

It would not be surprising if it did and if another civilized nation succumbed to the infection of a uniform and one-sided idea. America, which – O quae mutatio rerum! – forms the real political backbone of Western Europe, seems to be immune because of the outspoken counterposition she has adopted, but in point of fact she is perhaps even more vulnerable than Europe,

Philosophical**** autocorrect

It is a physiological read. The debate on the of individuality based on whether man is drawn towards State or Religion, where the state is again divides between Soviet and the West and Religion again Marxist vs regular. In both cases the individual loses individuality even at the higher echelon.

The Guardian is the real king i feel, not Xavier.
