Already the writing has me hooked … the size is a bit intimidating, but I have the feeling once I’m into it it’ll all be worth it

Woah. The writing in this!

Sooooo interesting and funny, but the author keeps getting ahead of himself and it’s slightly annoying. Like no idiot, I’m reading this book to learn about English history, I’m not already an expert 🤣 I got it at a museum gift shop

This summer evening….

The thin line between success and failure. The one is a phantom of the other, thinks Katharina but doesn’t say anything. The possibility of tipping over is basically the only thing.

But the omission, the elision, the avoidance, has the effect of preserving for all time the omitted, the elided, the avoided in its spectral form

So it’s okay for him to cheat on his wife, but then this is his reaction to Katharine???? She learned it from him…

“By the time she has told him everything, he will know who she was, but by then she will long since have become a different person“ the torture & cross examination

Katharina still knows her way around in the life that is no longer hers

Or was a human being just a container to be filled by time with whatever it happens to have handy? Did you have any control over what you saw in the mirror? Or was one helplessness merely succeeded by another?

And if it wasn’t this way, one thing after another, if there weren’t waves that washed one person ashore and someone else out to sea?

Is she always the same person, whatever she’s doing—or is she multitudes, like the figures on a carousel, who always go by one at a time?

She had thought she needed Hans in the world, now it turns out she needs him against the world.

Was is just a matter of your inner independence? But how was that possible if love meant involuntary dependency?

How to endure the way the present trickles down moment by moment and becomes the past?

I’m like why is everyone trusting haymitch?? He’s cool but also just like average guy

Why are we constantly romanticizing cheating???? I’m over it.
