“Life would be boring if we knew how things would turn out in the future. You don’t plot out your life and then live it. You live your life and see how it turns out.”

“Whenever a woman claims to be a victim, she is automatically believed, no proof of abuse is required.”

“Julian Barnes' Sense of an Ending won the Man Booker in 2011. I couldn't make head nor tail of it (I understood the words, they just weren't linked up in a way that made such an accolade rational), plus it was boring. I don't need wizard schools or dragons, but shouldn't something happen in a book? Isn't that what plot means? Don't you hate worthy books that make you feel like a thickie? There is something The Emperor's New Clothes about them: 'Everyone else understands this astonishing work of fiction, except you, you low-brow gimp."
Critical reception only served to underscore my stupidity: 'Do not be misled by its brevity,' said Anna Brookner of The Telegraph, 'it's mystery is as deeply embedded as the most archaic of memories.' I don't know what that means either. Sense of an Ending is, however, being rather wee, perfect for stabilizing a wonky desk.”
