Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book: "Cynicism is perfectionism ... wrapped in self-protection ... disguised as world-weary experience." (chapter 3) "You can only care about what is yours to care about." (chapter 6) "There is no golden age of spaciousness and stillness." (chapter 7) "Desire is a one-word feminist manifesto." (chapter 8) "You become the person who can write the book by writing the book." (chapter 9) "Your soul is not toothpaste. It is never for sale." (chapter 9) "We can't bother when we are all alone." (chapter 10) This book is AH-MAZ-ING.
