Quotes to live by #1

One of my favorite quote, I read it the book Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman. I adore Neil Gaimens books, this quote really resonates with me as an avid reader who was into books since I can remember.

I’ve just stumbled upon this book on Goodreads, as usual, and it sounded good. The main character is Florence Gordon, an older woman, who decides to write her memoir, which is something I would also like to do someday. She’s not your typical nice, warm, grandma type woman, but a stubborn, rather eccentric lady. Just in the begging of the book, her friends and family is throwing her a surprise birthday party (not on her birthday because that would have been too obvious) and she’s like, no, I was just in the mood to write, so thank you, but I’m going home. The story is also about 2 other women in the family, her daughter in law, Janice and her granddaughter Emily. We get to know Florence through their eyes and also about their life. So far I like Emily the best, maybe because she’s the closest to me in age, I don’t feel myself so close to Florence or Janice. Obviously there are male characters as well, for example Florence’s son, Daniel, but he hasn’t played a big part in the book so far. Just as his father, the ex-husband of Florence, Saul, who only was mentioned, but hasn’t appeared in person yet. 

I’m 30% done with the book, I will post a final review when I’m finished with the book.
