“But you needn’t be worried that you will meet the same fate as Novalis’s fiancee.”
“Why not?”
“Because there are several more chapters.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World

“It is my considered view that no one can invent fictional characters without first having made a lengthy study of people, just as it is impossible for anyone to speak a language that has not been properly mastered. Since I am not yet of an age to invent, I must make do with telling a tale.”
― Alexandre Dumas fils, La dame aux camélias

“A menudo el énfasis en la lealtad delata al traidor.”
― Javier Cercas, Soldados de Salamina

“*** THE CONTRADICTORY POLITICS OF ALEX STEINER ***

Point One: He was a member of the Nazi Party but he did not hate the Jews, or anyone else for that matter.

Point Two: Secretly, though, he couldn’t help feeling a percentage of relief (or worse – gladness!) when Jewish shop owners were put out of business – propaganda informed him that it was only a matter of time before a plague of Jewish tailors showed up and stole his customers.

Point Three: But did that mean they should be driven out completely?

Point Four: His family. Surely, he had to do whatever he could to support them. If that meant being in the Party, it meant being in the Party.

Point Five: Somewhere, far down, there was an itch in his heart, but he made it a point not to scratch it. He was afraid of what might come leaking out.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
