The Good Sister QUOTES

1 " Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.'
'John Lennon,' I say with a sigh. 'My mother is a huge fan.'
'So then you must know that every day, in every way, it's getting better. "

― Jamie Kain , The Good Sister

2 " Memory is that trick by which we see the awful events of the past loom over the good, like mountains over mouse. We don't recall life as it was. Instead, we remember what was different, frightening, or strange, and we turn our lives into the fun-house mirror images of the truth. "

4 " Funny how it works out though that when you expect nothing from a person, they might just give you everything you didn't know you wanted. "

5 " We are so busy with bullshit, we fail to stop and recognize the profound. So busy with brushing teeth and buying groceries and washing dishes and watching YouTube and checking Facebook and texting and putting on makeup and driving to here or there and looking for lost keys, it starts to feel like what we are really doing is hiding from how totally fucking scary life is. "

6 " I guess that's the only advantage of having cancer - it teaches you every day you live with it that life just isn't fucking fair, and there's not a thing you can do about it, so you might as well just get over yourself and appreciate shit. "

7 " Lately, I'm starting to think the thing we should all be trying to be isn't happy or entertained or excited or whatever. It's grateful. For everything. "

8 " For the first time since Sarah died, I know she is with me. Not in that cliché watching-over-me-on-a-cloud kind of with me, but in this feeling that washes over me. She is everything I have ever known about love, and she's taught me how to know this feeling now. "
