"I am now reading an abridged German edition, whilst constantly checking the original French text to see if the translator left out a paragraph, in which case I look it up in *another abridged translation*.
At this point, it would be quicker to just get fluent in French." — Mar 12, 2025 01:54PM

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”

“It's no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness. You've got to stick to it all your life. Only at times, at times, the gap will be filled in. At times! But you have to wait for the times. Accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. And then accept the times when the gap is filled in, when they come. But they've got to come. You can't force them.”
― Lady Chatterley's Lover
