Island in the sea - Anita Hughes

Maybe she would finally meet a guy who loved homemade soup and the farmer's market and watching Italian movies on netflix. 
* 
The fastest way to end the human race is to conduct love affairs through a metallic device that Autocorrects every original thought.
* 
Poetry has to hit you like an arrow in a bull's eye; if it lands just to the left it may as well never have been written. 
* 
But marriage is serious and I want the resources to make her happy. I want everyday to be filled with good food and laughter and the feeling we are building something together. 
* 
That's the great thing about love. You never know when you'll find it but when you do you feel like you've waited all your life for that moment. 
*  
She had always loved the feeling of camaraderie, like she was part of a team. 
* 
Some people think life is laid out in a preordained path and all we have to do is follow it. But God has better things to do than plot the future of seven billion people like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. He gave us a better-developed brain than any other species and more than two thousand years of written history to guide us. And we still manage to bloody mess everything up.  
* 
The problem with getting old is one confuses age with wisdom and there are fewer people who tell you when you make a mistake.  

Whenever I can, I note down beautiful phrases and words from the books I read.  This shall be the first of many to come!
