""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."" — Dec 26, 2025 08:45AM

"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

“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.”

“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.”

“She’d seen it clearly all along. It was as she said: they couldn’t go back. Now he understood why he’d felt trapped in a daze today. He’d been fighting against time. Their last parting had been so sudden, so unexpected, they’d not had a chance to say goodbye. When they walked out of this room today, they’d be saying goodbye forever. It was completely clear, like death.”

“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.”

“Love is not passion, perhaps. Not yearning either, but the experience of time, the part of life that accumulates over the months and years.”
