“i think that you are looking for an extraordinary kind of love, but i don’t think, for what it’s worth, that you want to be loved in an extraordinary way. i think what you want is to be loved plainly and quietly, without spectacle or anxiety.”

On long, lonely nights when your fear crawls over your brain like cockroaches and you can't get to sleep, dream of the time you were loved — in another lifetime, one of toil and blood. Remember how it felt to find shelter in someone's arms. Hope that you'll find it again.

“It is futile and knackering to try and make all your tiny choices representative of your moral compass then beat yourself up when this plan inevitably fails. Feminists can get waxed. Priests can swear. Vegetarians can wear leather shoes. Do as much good as you can. The weighty representation of the world cannot rest on every decision you make.”

When you’re looking for love and it seems like you might not ever find it, remember you probably have access to an abundance of it already, just not the romantic kind. This kind of love might not kiss you in the rain or propose marriage. But it will listen to you, inspire and restore you. It will hold you when you cry, celebrate when you’re happy, and sing All Saints with you when you’re drunk. You have so much to gain and learn from this kind of love. You can carry it with you forever. Keep it as close to you as you can.

I normally don’t set monthly tbrs, but these are two books I definitely want to get too soon!
I’ve heard such great things about both of these authors that I can’t believe its taken me this long to read their work!
