    💡Learnt A Lot

    Me parece interesante que una persona sin ninguna cercanía a la educación pueda tener esa chispa de curiosidad al punto de obtener un doctorado. Cuando comencé a leer el libro pensé que era ficción ya que no me había detenido a leer las reseñas. Me llevé una sorpresa cuando descubrí que ésta fue y será la vida de Tara Westover. Muy recomendado 👍

    Wow. This book has opened my mind to the realities of some people. I had never heard of a story like hers, however in many ways I can relate to Tara. Please, do yourself a favor and read it.

Quotes

  • Nina Vyvcharukhas quoted4 years ago
    To admit uncertainty is to admit to weakness, to powerlessness, and to believe in yourself despite both. It is a frailty, but in this frailty there is a strength: the conviction to live in your own mind, and not in someone else’s. I have often wondered if the most powerful words I wrote that night came not from anger or rage, but from doubt: I don’t know. I just don’t know.
  • Nina Vyvcharukhas quoted4 years ago
    What was important to me wasn’t love or friendship, but my ability to lie convincingly to myself: to believe I was strong. I could never forgive Charles for knowing I wasn’t.

    It’s strange how you give the people you love so much power over you,
