"I broke down every morning when the alarm beeped because life, lived this way, seemed like a badly written tragedy, boring and sterile, devoid of fun and, even worse, devoid of content, and so, on my way to work, I felt like grabbing strangers by the shoulders and asking them why they weren’t feeling like me. What was their secret, how did they manage to maintain their composure, why didn’t they cry every time their alarms beeped?"
“The real hell of life is that everyone has their reasons.” - Jean Renoir
"That’s all of life. All we can hope for. You mustn’t think about the fact that it might end, because then you live like a coward, you never love too much or sing too loudly. You have to take it for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and water balloons and another person’s breath against your neck. That’s the only courageous thing a person can do."
"Never give up on a turtle."
"But now she saw that it was just a bar, filled with people she didn’t know... It was never really hers, and it would carry on fine without her."
"The End begins before you are ever aware of it. It passes as ordinary."
"There are carrots and there are sticks, and then there is the outright offer of publication to an unpublished writer."
"Good writers borrow, great writers steal. —T. S. Eliot (but possibly stolen from Oscar Wilde)"
"... she doesn't see a landline, either. Only a brass button on the wall by the light switch, labeled Please press for immediate service. The sign strikes her as... prissy. Maybe it's the font or the little roses in the corners. The bell does not want to be pressed. They will not welcome her interruption. The please feels like a threat."
"There are things in this universe that we cannot control, and then there are the things we can. . . . Let fate, coincidence, and accident conspire; human beings must act on reason."
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
"Adventurers and loners, romantics and desperadoes, eccentrics and slow suicides—the luxuriousness of the place, its seduction and savagery, calls to the wildest among us. Alaska, the land of black moons and midnight suns."
"The way she offered her hand. The way he accepted it and followed her, without a word. And of course they would feel this quiet closeness; they grew up in the same small town. Have overlapping friend and family circles. Went to the same schools. They know each other in a way none of us could ever know them."
"When I’m sad, I read. I can go on reading for hours. Reading quiets the turmoil I feel inside and brings me peace."
"Sometimes, a perfect sandwich is not just about the sandwich itself, but about the setting. The experience of eating the sandwich. Context can elevate a great sandwich to a spiritual experience."
If you grew up primarily in the 2000s-2010s, you'll enjoy this book.
Easy breezy little vacation read
