Likely... if you are reading this, you know me and know that I have recently been obsessed with this book. I can't say enough about it! Don't worry- I'm almost finished it, and will move on to another one soon. I know, I know... it's been quite a few months already. It's just so good. One of those books where you outline phrases and insert sticky notes. And re-read again and again:)

Here are a few quotes:

"And in thinking that, I knew I was jealous of the man, the scientist I didn't know and probably would never meet. Jealousy, like the flawed love that bears it, has no respect for time or space or wisely reasoned judgement".

"When you know you're going to die, there's no comfort in cleverness".

"It is good to know what is wrong with the world. But it is just as important to know that sometimes, no matter how wrong it is, you cannot change it. And a lot of the bad stuff in the world was not really that bad until some one tried to change it."

"Mistakes are like bad loves, the more you learn from them the more you wish they had never happened."

Maybe this book is not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure is mine.

Have a good evening!
