"Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters."
"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like ‘An Imperial Affliction’, which you can’t tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal."

"But time… how time first grounds us and then confounds us. We thought we were being mature when we were only being safe. We imagine we were being responsible but only were being cowardly. What we called realism turn out to be a way of avoiding things rather than facing them. Time… give us enough time and our best supported decisions will seem wobbly, our certainties whimsical."
Julian Barnes, The Sense of An Ending
