“The problem with life is, we often do things that will ultimately be self-destructive and make us unhappy, yet in that moment it seems like the best idea in the world. You have to be careful of moments - they're tricksy things.”
Sophie Dahl, Playing with the Grown-ups
tags: life

“In secret places we can think and imagine, we can feel angry or sad in peace. There is something to be said for just being, without worrying about offending anyone.”
Sophie Dahl, The Secret Garden

“I think it doesn't really make a difference where she is, because she always takes herself with her.”
Sophie Dahl, Playing with the Grown-ups
