This afternoon, I started putting together a post about the mermaid from Robert Egger’s masterpiece, The Lighthouse. But then I went to visit my mother, and my attention was drawn to a notebook lying around that she’s had for as long as I can remember. This notebook, to be exact. She’s never written in it, but I became engrossed in the quotes – by truly brilliant women – featured on every page, so I’m sharing the ones that resonated with me in some way or other.
