Mid Week Quote: May Sarton

Hello!

I had a blissful hour sat in my car today reading my book during my lunch break and it was so nice to just have the time. I’ve fallen so far behind with my reading recently I’m now pretty sure I won’t catch up.

My chosen quote today is by the Belgian-American novelist, poet and memoirist Eleanore Marie Sarton (1912-1995). May Sarton was Sarton’s pen name.

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” 

May Sarton
