KINIKILIG AQOH POTA

On to Vol 3 ... 🫣

Juicy spicy

"...he also kept remembering Napoleon with his little white hands, all smugness, and now being treated with affection and respect by the Emperor Alexander. What were all those torn-off legs and arms for, and why had those men been killed?" (p. 451)

"Whatever the direction of his thoughts he kept coming back to the same unanswerable but inescapable questions. It was as if the working of his head had stripped the main screw that held his life together. The screw wouldn't go in or come out; it just turned without biting in on anything, always in the same hole, and he couldn't stop it turning." (p. 374)

Excuse me? So good ??

"Wouldn't it be nice if everything was as clear-cut and straightforward as it seems to Marie? Wouldn't it be nice if we know where to turn to for help in this life and what to expect when it's over, beyond the grave?"

"No, nothing is certain, nothing but the nothingness of all that we can understand, and the splendour of something we can't understand, but we know to be infinitely important!"

p. 313

"There was so much that he wanted to have done, and so much regretted not doing, that he seemed to think it had really happened like that. Well, maybe it had. Who could tell in all that confusion what had happened and what hadn't?" (p. 209)
