A Look Inside: Nineteen Minutes

A Look Inside is a post where I give you a couple of quotes from a book that I've read and enjoyed!

Today's book is Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult.

"You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?"

"In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn; color your hair; watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five. In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world; or you can just jump off it."

"To be truly popular, it has to look like something you are, when in reality, it's what you make yourself."

"A mathematical formula for happiness:Reality divided by Expectations.There were two ways to be happy:improve your reality or lower your expectations."
