| 21661da | Perhaps tranquility is what distinguishes the environment in which wealthy people live, he thought. - Kurt Wallander | Henning Mankell | ||
| 85a30e4 | In life, people walked together part of the way. Then their paths diverged, so slowly and unnoticed that it wasn't clear what had happened until it was too late. And by that time they were already out of sight of each other. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 7380695 | I can't have him at my place, that would never work. We'd murder each other. | Henning Mankell | ||
| d0fc4d3 | remembered him coming home after long shifts and immediately sitting down at the kitchen table, forcing my mother to listen to his complaints about all his difficult colleagues and the maitre d's, not to mention the diners he had to put up with. I never heard him accept responsibility for any tricky situation that had arisen; it was always the other person who had been in the wrong. When I was a child, I thought my father was an amazing man.. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 27ceffe | I'm too old for talks. I gave that up when I turned sixty. I'd done enough talking in my life by then. Nowadays I neither speak nor listen to what anybody else has to say. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 7a2b266 | Wallander felt on the verge of misconduct. | Henning Mankell | ||
| d2b80d6 | call. I spent the next few hours playing poker with myself. It's the saddest expression of loneliness I know. I never feel more overwhelmed by weariness and unhappiness than when I'm trying to win money off myself. There is no deeper form of isolation. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 6c163aa | Then he said, leaning forward: 'You're strange animals, you women intellectuals. Tell me: what's it like to be a woman?' I took my rifle from behind my chair and shot him dead. 'It's like that,' I said. | Joanna Russ | ||
| 7bb29c2 | The first effect of abroad is strangeness. It makes me strange to myself. I experience a transfer, a transparency. | Joanna Walsh | ||
| 0d4afbd | Chip asked me about New York and what I wanted to do, and how long my dad had owned the shop, and what it was I loved about Waco. He asked about my sisters and my family in general, and what I'd done at Baylor, and if I'd known a few communications majors he'd run around with at school. (I told y'all he was chatty!) Somehow none of these questions seemed intrusive or strange to me at the time, which is funny, because thinking back I find th.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 60c2c1a | We didn't know what made "great TV." We were just trying to make a living and trying hard to honor the craft we had both fallen in love with over the years." -- | Joanna Gaines | ||
| f681077 | Put it on HGTV--I think Fixer Upper is on." "How many times can you watch Joanna Gaines say 'French doors here' and 'Put a beam on it' before it gets old?" Before I can answer Lucas with How dare you insult Jo, my phone rings." | R.S. Grey | ||
| d036635 | I have to choose to thrive, even in the pain. Even when it's tough. ... We can do this. God has not brought us this far to let us down now. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 608a564 | By the time Chip and I met, he'd managed to combine these two conflicting sides of himself: the kid who steered clear of trouble and did the right thing, and the kid who rode his Big Wheel full speed into the street without looking both ways. I had never met anyone like him. It's funny to me to think that the whole opposites-attract thing might have been programmed into my DNA. Just as my outgoing mother was drawn to my quiet dad, I was thi.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| a750c29 | Between building the new house on our newly subdivided lot, continuing work on some small flip homes, and managing the rentals, Chip had more work than he could do himself, so he had put a crew of workmen together. "The Boys," as we called them, were a talented bunch of hardworking guys who were just as adaptable as Chip seemed to be when it came to making my crazy ideas become reality. I truly could say, "Hey, why don't we take that tree o.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 48f699a | You bloomed? I did. If I hadn't married Chip, I might not have ever bloomed. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 4b8b756 | Typically, "letting my hair down" meant that I would sit in front of the television and binge-watch HGTV for hours at a time. Many a weekend since the divorce had been spent this way. My obsession with Chip and Joanna Gaines had reached epic proportions by now. To the point that I seriously contemplated moving to Waco, Tx before settling on New York." | Barbie Bohrman | ||
| f7f31c1 | That rotten houseboat turned out to be a blessing in disguise. | houseboat | Joanna Gaines | |
| 263953b | Life isn't found on the pages of a magazine. Life is found in the glass of spilled milk and in the long, narrow hallway filled with socks and soccer balls. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 242e42e | So from the age of five to about twenty, religion to me was a matter of 'you do this, and you don't do that, and you do your best to walk the straight line. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| f50f505 | I always thought that the "thriving" would come when everything was perfect, and what I learned is that it's actually down in the mess that things get good. It was such a blessing to find myself thriving in the middle of the pain. Unless you find a way to do that, there's always going to be this fake illusion that once you get there-wherever "there" is for you-you'll be happy. But that's just not life. If you can't find happiness in the ug.. | inspirational | Joanna Gaines | |
| 6db51bf | One thing I learned there on that beautiful front porch was if I wanted to be successful, if I wanted to do important work one day, I would have to increase my capacity. I had to learn to manage disappointment. I needed to learn how to make the most out of those "opportunities" Chip seemed to keep finding." | opportunities | Joanna Gaines | |
| 94cd6da | lap?" Chip laughed. "That seems a little ironic to use on a , doesn't it?" "Ha-ha," I replied. I was still not in the mood for his jokes, but this is how Chip backs me off the ledge--with his humor." | Joanna Gaines | ||

No eto vsego lish' sled chetyrekhmernogo kuba. Esli razlozhit' kvadrat, poluchitsia liniia. Dva izmereniia skladyvaiutsia v odno. Kub skladyvaetsia v krest. Tri izmereniia prevrashchaiutsia v dva.

| a9004e7 | I paused. "...I'm not dreaming." "True." "Then I'm going insane." "Do you want an honest answer?" "Yes." He shrugged. "I'd only query the tense. But I'm not a professional, so, you know, seek out a second opinion." | Alex Garland | ||

| 5d3ef08 | Escape through travel works. Almost from the moment I boarded my flight, life in England became meaningless. Seat belt signs lit up, problems switched off. Broken armrests took precedence over broken hearts. By the time the plane was airborne I'd forgotten England even existed. | Alex Garland | ||

| b31837d | As another philosopher, Myisha Cherry, has recently argued, "I want to convince you that there are types of anger that are not bad." In particular, she is interested in anger at injustice, regarding it as a wholly appropriate response to inequity. "Here are some of the features of the anger at injustice: it recognizes wrongdoing. This recognition is not mistaken; this person is not delusional or making this up in their head. It is not selfi.. | Rebecca Traister | ||
