Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The subversive truth about love is that it really is the big deal everyone makes it out to be, and it’s not some form of security or an insurance policy against loneliness. It’s everything, love is. It runs the whole universe!”
“This is the important thing. Don’t settle for anything you don’t want. That’s the main thing.”
You need to forget what society has told you about life and expectations, and don’t let anybody make you pretend. You are enough, just the way you are—do you hear me? You have many gifts. Many, many gifts.”
You need a mantra to help you. You can borrow mine, if you want: ‘Whatever happens, love that.’”
I’ve made nice with trouble my whole life, and I’ve noticed that what happens is that problems just curl right up like declawed kittens and nestle at your feet and fall asleep. Later, you look down, and they’ve wandered off somewhere. You bid them a fond farewell and get back to what you wanted to do in the first place.
In the interest of friendliness, I have given my tumor a name: Cassandra. She was the prophet nobody believed.
So I am going to die. Most natural thing in the world to have happen. Life ends. And I’m okay with that. It’s just a change of address, really. It doesn’t have to be awful.
It’s hard to make room for love when anger still feels so good.
If we all lived forever, I tell him, then life really wouldn’t have any meaning. So why not embrace it, prepare for it, love what is?
we are all vibrational beings in physical bodies, and thoughts actually become reality so you have to make sure you’re thinking about what you want and not about what you don’t want.
So live your little hearts out. Love is everything there is. Never forget who you are.
You don’t know, until there’s a moment like that, how much more space there can be in your heart. How much breathing room there is out in the world just for you. That’s when you learn for sure that love will win in the end. It just will.
