Life Lessons Quote by Lesley Glaister — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To think how thrilled she was when she took the job to have to sign the Official Secrets Act. It seemed so deliciously cloak and dagger, and she thought she'd become privy to important national secrets, or at least something interesting.  But it's all piffle, baffling as hell and twice as boring.”

“And then came Mrs Fletcher, snapping her scissors, the soft scrunch of the blades through thick hanks, the gradual sensation of lightness. Now every scrap of hair that Powell had touched was gone.”

“Tiny Eleanor in her black coat, is dinkily perfect, like a woman carved on a mechanical clock, nodding, lifting her hand, in jerky greeting. Her eyes might slice jealously through any gaze between Clem and Corin, but they can't sever the meaning of those gazes.”

“I will move on someday, but I will never forget how much you made me cry, not because I am still stuck on you, but because those tears taught me who you truly were. You showed me how love can feel worse than hatred, how silence can hurt more than words, and how care can turn into control. One day, my heart will stop aching, but the memory of how you treated me will always stay. And that’s not bitterness, that’s awareness because you were a lesson, not a loss.”

“Learn to live life in total surrender. It unlocks a joy you didn’t know existed.”

“If you want to make a difference, you must live like no one else and strive to achieve goals that others view as impossible to reach.”

“Fight against what you are complaining about. You cannot win by just complaining and doing nothing about it.”

“Rise with hope, and let it overflow like a river. Pray for your courage to flow like that of a victor.”

“The problem with falling in love is falling back out of it again, usually because you've fallen in love with a lie. That happens as often as not.”
