Quote by Ann Liang

“I miss a lot of people." And this, I think, is my ultimate fatal flaw. Missing people who don't miss me back. Clinging onto strands of string that shouldn't mean half as much as they do. It takes so little for me to love someone, yet so long for me to move on.”

“I’d never felt before like maybe we'd outgrown each other. Like maybe Mike was someone I wouldn't have liked today if I hadn't known him as long as I had. I kept hanging on to who Mike was for me in a previous life, ignoring who he was now, and I was tired of trying to cling to that. We're fed the narrative that you never give up on the ones you love. And I did love Mike. But it wasn't my job to hold him up while he decided if he wanted to stand or not. To scream at him to change until I lost my voice. I felt done.”

“From Sashé Boudreaux: It’s said a Cajun woman only needs three things in life, ’cause everything else worth havin’ flows right outta them: a solid foundation (and I don’t mean makeup), a faithful man, and a good étouffée. Mostly I agree… but they left out the beignets. Truth is, life’s a recipe—stir slow, season well, and always set an extra place at the table. You never know who might come along needing a kind ear, a soft place to land, and something warm in their belly.”

“If I were to choose one quality above all others to guide a man into, so that he might become a good king, it would be friendship with God. For if he has this, it will compensate for whatever other deficiencies the man may have, and if he does not have this, no matter how gifted he might be, he will not become the king he could have been.”
