"Enjoying this so far. Gilbert is narrating which is finding charming so far, Gilbert is finding himself in this sort of love triangle with Helen and Eliza but I think he doesn't love Eliza truly and can see her character disappear sort of during the book. Loved the beach scene and Helens demeanor. Who is Arthur's farther? Very different to Wuthering Heights but a lot easier to follow despite being a lot longer" — 5 hours, 53 min ago

"⭐️⭐️⭐️Breakfast at Tiffany's: What an odd book, defiantly a character building book about the people and lifestyle in this period. Holly is quite the character. Neither loved it or hated it, had not watched the film before the book. Maybe I will now to get a better understanding of what's going in plot wise as it can be unclear at times." — Jun 05, 2026 06:42AM

“All revolutions have liberté, égalité, fraternité, and other noble slogans inscribed on their banners. All revolutionaries are enthusiasts, zealots; all are utopians, with dreams of creating a new world in which the injustice, corruption, and apathy of the old world are banished forever. They are intolerant of disagreement; incapable of compromise; mesmerized by big, distant goals; violent, suspicious, and destructive. Revolutionaries are unrealistic and inexperienced in government; their institutions and procedures are extemporized. They have the intoxicating illusion of personifying the will of the people, which means they assume the people is monolithic. They are Manicheans, dividing the world into two camps: light and darkness, the revolution and its enemies. They despise all traditions, received wisdom, icons, and superstition. They believe society can be a tabula rasa on which the revolution will write.”

“To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”
