#LoveThisQuote – Anita and Me

I'm really not a liar, I just learned very early on that those of us deprived of history sometimes need to turn to mythology to feel complete, to belong.  

#LoveThisQuote – Princess Diarist

I guess it was all going just a little too well If I wasn't careful, I'd be happy pretty soon. Carrie Fisher (The Princess Diarist) I've been sat on this book for too long and this, along with a few other lines really jumped out at me. I don't know how I feel about this…

#LoveThisQuote – The Inexplicable Logic of my Life

Words only exist in theory. And then one ordinary day you run into a word that only exists in theory and then you meet it face to face. And then that word becomes someone you know. The word becomes someone you hate. And you take that word with you everywhere you go and you can't…

#LoveThisQuote – F Scott Fitzgerald

“For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope…

#LoveThisQuote – That Close

In a continuation of my quest to read more non fiction I finally got around to picking up a copy of Suggs' autobiography. Suggs, for those that don't know, is a member of the band, Madness, who are one of my favourite bands, they're just so much fun and I've always found Suggs to be…

#LoveThisQuote – Sylvia Plath

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. Is it bad that Sylvia Plath is pretty much the only writer that I recognise myself in? Probably...

#LoveThisQuote -Milk and Honey

So I am on a mission. Well, I say a mission, I am actually on two missions and this particular post will introduce you to both of them. Firstly, I am looking to broaden my reading horizons, I have mentioned before that I want to read more non fiction, I also generally want to read…

#LoveThisQuote – Yes, Please

Last year I decided I wanted to read more non fiction, so when I spotted Amy Poehler's book on the International Woman's Day I knew I had to have it and literally within the first few pages I made so many notes of things she'd said I couldn't not make a post about at least…

#LoveThisQuote – Trapdoor

So you know I started doing posts that aren't just book quotes to replenish my now long gone quote book? (did get a few pretty special looking ones for Christmas though...) Well, I have a new thing I heard that I liked that isn't in a book that I'm going to share with you. Strap…

#LoveThisQuote – My Heart and Other Black Holes

I am not one for New Year's resolutions, I never have been. Its partly because I find it hard to commit to anything and partly because I am too hard on myself if I fail, which I always inevitably do because I start having an existential crisis about whatever it is that I've set myself…
