Last Night When You Kissed Blanche Thompson:
"A long short story (actually a chapter from Bess Streeter Aldrich's MOTHER MASON) about small-town life, set further back in time than the above cover would suggest. Funny, detailed, well worth a look. I'm not offering any highlights; I want you to d"

""We know you've always yearned to meet us, and this feeling of being wanted so much by you, and your mom, is heartening for us - you don't know how much. ... We know how much you both love us,... we've always known that, never doubt it." (56%)

quote
“Ironic that a narcissist would end up dominated by a narcissist. (Da 4:29-35) The most suffocating characteristic of a narcissist is, they don’t allow liberty, freedom, or imperfection. The narcissistic boss/spouse/parent, think others exist to shine their star.

“Narcissists assume everyone thinks the way they do. If you are a narcissist, there is hope for you. Admit that you lack the personality for shepherding. Not all have the capacity for shepherding. (Eph 4:11-12)

Lamentations: how narcissistic leaders torment church and family (The Hidden Series):
"Lamentations: how narcissistic leaders torment church and family.
It’s the subheading that caught my attention. I thought “narcissistic” was a 21st Century problem, but it turns out this problem goes back centuries—with the same result. Narcissism is " Read more of this review » |

There must be a million different ways to ask, “Why don’t you love me anymore?” We’re all suffering. We’re all wounded and don’t know how to ask for help. Analyze any failed relationship. Every estrangement had a solution. The book of Lamentations is ...more | |
“Your partner may have injuries that you can't repair. Your partner may be trapped in a dark room without windows. Your life narrative might bring him more relief than an opiate. Some people make better windows than windows. Your kind words and enlightened perspective is a window of wonders to someone living in pain.”

“This is going to hurt, but you will have to watch other couples be happier, richer and louder than you. Wait. No obstacle can withstand patience. Wait. You may not think so now, but there will come a time when you will be tempted to run away. Would that be right? Would that be fair? As every matriarch discovers, entire seasons will pass without reward. As your mate's peculiarities add up, what do you do? Wait!”

“Some day you will look back on these days as the happiest of your life. You will forget your financial struggles. You will forget the unfair division of duties. You will forget feeling trapped and smothered, imagining that you are in a loveless marriage. You will only remember the joy of a young family, working together making your way through an unfamiliar world. Appreciate what you have now.

“Zoe did what civilized people do when they freak out: she drank tea. She had walked from her little bungalow to Coffee & Tea. It was always filled with the well-educated, the complicated, the people who read books with captivating titles. A perfect place to ignore and be ignored. She found the anonymity delicious.”

“Zoe leaned closer to Ruth, nearly nose to nose. “If they were made from better stuff, they would have pretended the fault was theirs. They would have made a moment of it--a pretty moment.”

“Being articulate is no guarantee of intelligence,” Zoe said. “I’m not doubting the value of education. I’m doubting its reach. Highly educated politicians still do stupid things. Anthony Weiner was educated; Mugabi was educated; Assad was educated; Mussolini was educated. For all their education, look at them.”

“People, like buildings, have facades. Tom created his. His walk was a feat. It had taken him twenty years of killing bad guys and a pair of Tony Lama boots to perfect the illusion. He made sure that everyone felt it by the third clunk of his boot heel. When he entered a crime scene there was a hush, and no one ever quite knew why they were holding their breath. But he did. A crime scene was theater and the stage was his.”

“Dora Flores was one of the few people Tom confided in. She reported to him as Cyber Division’s Inner-Office Field Support. She still had a slight Mexican flavor in her pronunciations, and he liked it.”
