My husband bought this book of poems for us to read aloud after listening to Michael Mosley's Just One Thing podcast. It's been a really enjoyable winter habit to go through the book and a few of the poems brought me to tears as I read them. A beauti ...more

Probably more of a 3.5. Lots of laugh out loud parts and interesting to hear his backstory, read by himself.

Terry Pratchett
“Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.”
Terry Pratchett

Barack Obama
“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
Barack Obama

Wallace Shawn
“Revenge and punishment both imply, "Even if I'd been you, and I'd had your life, I would never have done what you did." And that in turn implies, "I wouldn't have done it, because I'm better than you." But the person who says, "I'm better than you," is taking a serious step in a very dangerous direction. And the person who says, "Even if I'd had your life, I would never have done what you did," is very probably wrong.”
Wallace Shawn, Night Thoughts

Ursula K. Le Guin
“If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Dorothy L. Sayers
“The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Have His Carcase
