Tara Westover Quotes
»Forgiveness isn’t just the absence of anger. I think it’s also the presence of self-love when you actually begin to value yourself.
»I get up when I feel like getting up. That’s the deal I’ve made with myself: I can stay in bed as long as my dog’s bladder holds. The other half of that deal is that once the dog is walked, the very next thing I do is write. It’s mechanical. It’s programming, very nearly brainwashing.
»Not knowing my birthday had never seemed strange. I knew I’d been born near the end of September, and each year I picked a day, one that didn’t fall on a Sunday because it’s no fun spending your birthday in church.
»Publishing a book is a very different thing than writing one.
»It’s very difficult to continue to believe in yourself and that you’re a good person when the people who know you best don’t.
»We think love is noble, and in some ways, it is. But in some ways, it isn’t. Love is just love. And sometimes people do terrible things because of it.

Review quote
“A memoir to stand alongside classics by the likes of Jeanette Winterson and Lorna Sage . . . a compelling and ultimately joyous account of self-determination” * Sunday Times * “[A] fascinating, jaw-dropping memoir” — Nina Stibbe * Observer * “[A] superb memoir… Westover’s journey from a remote corner of the American west to one of the world’s grandest seats of learning is extraordinary . . . Her story, of fighting to be herself, is as old as the hills she came from, but Westover gives us such a fresh, absorbing take that it deserves to bring her own private Idaho into the bestseller lists, book groups and, eventually, cinemas.” * The Times * “Brilliantly recounts her journey towards knowledge and enlightenment” — Blake Morrison * Guardian.
