All This Twisted Glory (This Woven Kingdom, #3)

by Tahereh Mafi

“You spent three hours in a state of distress—focused solely on one emotion—hoping to discard those hours from your life as if your discomforts might expire with them. But life cannot be experienced one emotion at a time. It is a tapestry of sensation, a braided rope of feeling. We must allow for reflection even when we suffer. We must reach for compassion even when we triumph. If you spend your days waiting for your sorrows to end so that you might finally live”—he shook his head—“you will die an impatient man.”
