Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Every day that ends with me still breathing has ended well.”
“Sometimes it’s easier to be good with people you don’t know than the ones you do.
“History is so picked over, by the time you get to the tree, there’s barely any fruit left.”
She said, to survive, don’t use your gift for shit you hate. Work in a grocery store, pump gas, pick up trash to get by before you corrupt your art.”
“I don’t get stronger when you shield me from things, but I can draw strength from you if you walk with me through them.
“Yeah, because one implies that I don’t want you unconditionally, and the other implies you don’t trust me to.”

“Tomorrow,” she says from the screen, from a wheelchair precipitously close to the edge of a pier, “is the most presumptuous word in the world, because who knows if you even get that. Yesterday, spilled milk and old news. You can’t do nothing about how you messed up or fell short or didn’t do yesterday. Even when you mess up and make it right, it has to be done today.”
The only thing you can do with today is make it count, because soon it will be tomorrow.
Better todays make better tomorrows, and if you don’t get tomorrow, at least you had today.”
