"Freeze Frames of Thanks"

Part of what helps me justify my book "habit" is that I can always resell my books.  Most do get resold eventually.  It's a special book that earns a permanent place on my shelves that are ruthlessly purged each year (wanna-be minimalist.)  1000 Gifts has definitely earned a place.  I knew that early on.  So I started underlining in pencil.  Some of my recent favorite quotes:
-these chronicles are "freeze frames of grace"
-"Eventually, I am guaranteed to lose every earthly thing I have ever possessed.......All human relationships end in loss.  Am I prepared for that?"
-"How do you know how to sift through a day, a life, and rightly read the graces, rightly ascertain the curses?"
-"..the spirit-to-spirit combat I endlessly wage with Satan is this ferocious thrash for joy."
