You can't win always, there always gonna be someone better than you in some or the other way, but that shouldn't stop you from trying, you never know where you get from the chances you take, you might not be awarded everytime but if you learn the lessons from your failures are the reward in itself.⠀ @shubham_mahajan99⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #scribsters #NeverGiveUp #KeepGoing #NeverStopLearning #LearningNeverStops #hardworkpaysoff #workhard #tryagain #LifeLessons #lessons #lessonlearned #DONTSTOP #KnowYourWorth #BelieveInYourself #havefaith #FaithOverFear #faithhopelove #writerscommunity #WritersCafe #SundaySentence #SundaySpecial #SoulfulSunday #MotivationalQuotes #InspirationalQuotes #quotestagram #quotesdaily #dailyquotes #DailyMotivation #quotesoftheday #thoughtoftheday (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7eLbWAPVf/?igshid=1cc7m6wfmrgrp

How many sentences did I read in 2019? Hundreds of thousands, probably tipping over into the millions. Of all the great lines in all the great books I read this year, there is one sentence to which I’ve returned more than once: lingering over it, savoring it, tumbling it over and over in my mind like a river scurries along a stone until it is a polished pebble. It’s not high-falutin’ philosophy or even shot-through with poetic lightning; no, it’s just a simple sentence from Inland by @teaobreht, but one that makes me smile every time my eyes rest upon it. In the coming days, I’ll have more to say about Inland and the rest of my favorite books of 2019, but I thought I would kick off the My Year of Reading series with this micro-level moment that illustrates why it was so fun to have my nose buried in books for these past twelve months.

Sunday Sentences

“It’s so mundane! I took a rebellious idea and turned it into this. Everyone's loved up and settling down, we have minutes of meetings for fucks sake. We have projections, and plans to diversify, all from stealing the place from Solas.”

“Solas?” Adaar pinned her with a stare.

“I mean the Solar Empire, who is the real villain,” shit she’d forgotten that they’d agreed that only after Abby’s lot had their first four attempts, they would let Adaar into the deal.

“The Solar Empire…”

“Yeah, bad fuckers, it’s almost a shadowy organisation, but because its solar it’s light. Yeah, that's right, having stolen this place from the Solar Empire, I turned into a boring adult.”

“Providing stability for everyone here for the foreseeable future,” Adaar drawled, “I can see why you would be annoyed with yourself over that.” @fandomn00blr

#SundaySentence "To refuse to listen to someone’s cries for justice and equality until the request comes in a language you feel comfortable with is a way of asserting your dominance over them in the situation." - @IjeomaOluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

 "Until the United States cured its 'Mississippiitis" — that disease of segregation, violence, and oppression that plagued America like a chronic bout of consumption — the paper declared, it would never merit the position of world leadership."

– Margot Lee Shetterly, HIDDEN FIGURES [p.152]

The whisky was a good detail. It placed things in a different dimension, which is where things should be.

I love sentences plucked from the warm, comfortable bowels of their context and placed on the stainless-steel examining table for us to analyze and admire. Just a single sentence (or maybe 2 or 3) to read for its beauty, wit & intelligence: that's Sunday Sentence in a nutshell. This week, my #SundaySentence comes from the perfect (yeah, I said PERFECT) short story by @beckymandelbaum, which recently arrived in my mailbox from the good folks at @onestorymag. You should read not only this single sentence from "Say Uncle," but this is a good time to remind you to subscribe to One Story: http://bit.ly/2P0G68G And: I know I'm not supposed to comment on the Sunday Selection (according to my own "rules" which say the line is "presented out of context and without commentary"), but godDAMN, people, "Say Uncle" is as near to a perfect short story as I've read in a long, long time. . . . #shortstories #amreading #stories #shortstory #sentence #bestsentences #literature #literary #readthis #fiction https://www.instagram.com/p/B50b3FmB59U/?igshid=r7i262e8emj1

On Monday, the offer to buy our house fell through. On Tuesday, I woke up and picked up where I'd left off reading in The Complete Poems of E. E. Cummings. This, from his 1935 collection "No Thanks," is the first thing I read: little man (in a hurry full of an important worry) halt stop forget relax wait Is it any wonder, then, that it's my #SundaySentence this week? http://bit.ly/31R8Jt9 Each week, avid readers share the single-best sentence to pass before their eyes in the past week (sometimes, we stretch to two, maybe three sentences). If you're on Twitter, share YOUR favorite sentence you read this week, using the hashtag #SundaySentence. Or, post your sentence in the comments below..... . . #amreading #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #ilovebooks #ilovereading #readthis #booksbooksbooks #reader #classicbooks #instabook #bookpic #mybooks #bookworm #igreads #booked #instabooks #booklife #readinglife #bookaddict #StillLifeWithBooks #readthis #poetry (at Butte, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3S3EK6prEM/?igshid=162u0f3p2u3ac

The gin and tonic is sublime, but Edith Wharton is even more so. I just reached the wedding scene in The Age of Innocence and there are so many perfect and near-perfect sentences on those pages that I'm deluged with #SundaySentence candidates. (Though, don't tell Edith, but I might actually go with a Billy Collins line tomorrow. I haven't quite decided yet. Tune in to Twitter tomorrow to find out. I'm @ImDavidAbrams over there.)

What's everyone reading this weekend? My #FridayReads is a novel I've been itching to read for more than a year now (and finally carved out some time to, ahem, pin it to the mat). STEPHEN FLORIDA by @gabe.habash took me prisoner from the very first line (look for SF to make an appearance at this week's #SundaySentence). It's a wrestling novel, a college novel (much like "The Art of Fielding"), a coming-of-age novel, and a novel that brazenly delights in the power of language. I'm less than 50 pages into it, but I already suspect it will be one of the best I read this year. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm4A5aaFkX7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z2u5br3p2fzr
