A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
Quotes from the Book
...there is more to life than the main story. Check out the notes in the margins because maybe they're even more important.
We all want to be stronger and better. Sometimes just to prove that we're good enough to be respected…or loved".
The most important things aren't always in the main story; sometimes the real meaning is scribbled in the margins.
Two steps forward...one step back...I've always hated that old cliche too...I believe that we should all be able to dance through life and only change the tempo now and then.
The most important things aren’t always in the main story; sometimes the real meaning is scribbled in the margins. You know, when you pick up a secondhand book and people have written stuff in it. Um, read what other people think is important. Maybe they underline a sentence or just a word. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the story but how they feel at the time.
