Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

“What is a game?" Marx said. "It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”

[melodysbookhaven]

“But it is worth noting that to be good at something is not quite the same as loving it.”

Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Chains around my demons Wool to brave the seasons One single thread of gold Tied me to you

[thespilledquotes]

But knowing what I don't want to do doesn't help me figure out what I do want to do. I could do just about anything if somebody made me. But I don't have an image of the one thing I really want to do. That's my problem now. I can't find the image.

— Haruki Murakami

It's not about Anne With An E just being cancelled. It's about the fact that every Anne of Green Gables installation is about Anne and Gilbert and their story and for once, it was about more than that, it was about the consequences of racism and physical/sexual assault, indigenous history and residential schools, slavery and bullying and knowing your past and exploring it, it was about understanding your own beauty and living it and it was about friendships and it was wholly, completely about a girl way a head of her time. But they still managed to make the finale about Anne and Gilbert and now there are storylines, important storylines, in this show that'll never be addressed, that are just hanging there waiting to be completed and I just can't seem to understand why they cancelled a show that still had so much to talk about.

He has no idea what to do with the baby. He’s genuinely trying to teach her to speak.

Some people, weak people, fear solitude. What they fail to understand is that you don’t need anyone, you can take care of yourself.

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
