Julian Barnes
“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

Julian Barnes
“How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Philip Larkin
“How little our careers express what lies in us, and yet how much time they take up. It's sad, really.”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

Tracy Letts
“Thank God we can't tell the future. We'd never get out of bed.”
Tracy Letts, August: Osage County
tags: life

John Fowles
“Life is not a symbol, is not one riddle and one failure to guess it, is not to inhabit one face alone or to be given up after one losing throw of the dice; but is to be, however inadequately, emptily, hopelessly into the city’s iron heart, endured. And out again, upon the unplumb’d, salt, estranging sea.”
John Fowles, The French Lieutenant's Woman
