“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

Anne Morriss, Starbucks customer

“I never was one to take pictures, so some of those moments will simply disappear when I shred those receipts. Perhaps without the paper trail, I can just move on and realize there is no score for who wasted the most love or money. Everybody gets a zero when marriage fails, and everybody pays the price of pain.”

“She told me once, with great assurance, “I have read two books a week for thirty years. I am satisfied that I know everything.”

Margaret, about her grandmother, Charlie Kate, in Charms for the Easy Life, by Kaye Gibbons.
