Kindle Notes & Highlights
Am I world-weary? Is that why I focus on the risk of humiliation and disappointment rather than delight in the joy of possibility?
“For me, falling in love feels like gazing up at a dark sky. First, there is nothing but blackness, then gradually your eyes adjust, a few stars come into view, then suddenly, you see everything—thousands of stars, an infinite spectrum of light. It’s mind-blowing. Falling out of love feels the same but in reverse. One by one the stars recede, gray clouds sweep in. Then one day you realize you are alone in the dark, there’s nothing out there.”
“Don’t let life make you hard, Anna. It’s the soft, gooey middle that makes it all so delightful.”
Time feels different when it’s marked by the movement of the sun rather than a clock.
