| I'm full of admiration for Obreht's skill, her descriptions, her world. I'm just...I don't know. Something is keeping me from enjoying this as much as I should. | |

“Even if i'm setting myself up for failure, I think it's worth trying to be a mother who delights in who her children are, in their knock-knock jokes and earnest questions. A mother who spends less time obseessing about what will happen, or what has happened, and more time reveling in what is. A mother who doesn't fret over failings and slights, who realizes her worries and anxieties are just thoughts, the continuous chattering and judgement of a too busy mind. A mother who doesn't worry so much about being bad or good but just recognizes that she's both, and neither. A mother who does her best, and for whom that is good enough, even if, in the end, her best turns out to be, simply, not bad. ”

“Why is it that loving something provides such little protection from betrayal?”
― Ayelet Waldman, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits
― Ayelet Waldman, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits
“Love & Marriage are about work & Compromise. They're about seeing someone for what he is, being disappointed and deciding to stick around anyway. They're about commitment and comfort, not some kind of sudden, hysterical recognition.”
― Ayelet Waldman, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits
