"In hell on family vacation, I hate Vegas so much and I hate that my parents are the type of people who love Vegas, my only salvation is reading about a couple generations of a family each of which hates spending time with the generation preceding" Dec 29, 2025 09:53AM

""The war is no less atrocious for being only a simulacrum. ... What no longer exists is the adversity of the adversaries, the reality of antagonistic causes, the ideological seriousness of war. And also the reality of victory or defeat, war being a process that triumphs well beyond these
appearances.""

"Every time this book is about to lose me it goes on a digression that makes me laugh. But (and this is a sign of the changing times) I can’t get that into books that are about subjugating nature, as titillating as that may be" Dec 23, 2025 06:18AM

Philippe Besson
“I don't know then that one day I won't be seventeen. I don't know that youth doesn't last, that it's only a moment, and then it disappears and by the time you finally realize it, it's too late. It's finished, vanished, lost. There are some around me who can sense it; the adults repeat it constantly but I don't listen. Their words roll over me but don't stick. Like water off the feathers of a duck's back. I'm an idiot. An easygoing idiot.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

Eileen Chang
“Her experience of the world was still not deep enough to help her see that cruelty and cowardice go hand in hand; and that those who, when they’re riding high, transgress flagrantly are later crushed by the slightest touch of hardship, at which they pull long, sad faces.”
Eileen Chang, Half a Lifelong Romance

Philippe Besson
“Today, when I meet children on this beach, when I see them running in the dunes, or lying on the hot stone wall that was once a levee, I remember that I was like them once, with their incredible lightness and insouciance, soaking in the sun. You can never really let go of your childhood. Especially when it was happy.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

Eileen Chang
“我要你知道,在这个世界上,总有一个人是会永远等着你的。无论什么时候,无论在什么地方,总会有这么一个人”
Eileen Chang, Half a Lifelong Romance

Philippe Besson
“I just wanted to write to tell you that I have been happy during these months together, that I have never been so happy, and that I already know I will never be so happy again.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me
