Many of the same. Put me in mind of this quote:

Heading home. Book club tonight was great. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is, let's be honest, a weird book. Some people loved it, some people didn't like it, but we could all see each other's point of view, so the discussion was lively and engaging.
I personally loved the book because of how intensely, deliciously sad it was.

For a missed connection in Washington, DC: “Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.”
Quite pleasant read.

- I was browsing quotes tagged 'care' and got a bit startled by this one. There's something deep about being a too flexible worker in this thought. You bend for ever to keep your job. When you loose your job anyway due to a merger, a significant change in the market position of your employer etc... you notice that everything you can - what you considered to be your core skills - was valid only in the old silo that does not exist any more.
A question I currently find to be one of the most interesting is how to motivate people still living in the satisfactory old silo to dare to familiarize with the world expanding outside - the next world with thousands of next opportunities. What would be an understandable signal of care?

From Goodreads - There was a man. He had a knife. He attacked us down by the river.
It was just a harmless little lie.
Anna, Emma and Mariah concoct a story about why they're late getting home one night—a story that will replace their parents' anger with
concern. They just have to stand by it. No matter what. Suddenly the police are involved, and the town demands that someone be punished. And then there is the man who is arrested and accused of a crime that never happened.

My Review - 3 Girls who are best friends tell one hell of a whopper lie that spirals out of control all because the truth would have gotten them grounded till they were old & grey. None of the girls figured it would get out of control like it did. Thant one lie turned into several that put an innocent man behind bars. When it's all said and done the girls will figure out much about themselves that they did not know before causing them to learn things about themselves that they would not otherwise learn.
