Citáty Julian Barnes
„This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature.“
— Julian Barnes
The Sense of an Ending
„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
„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. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people's lives, never your own.“
— Julian Barnes
Flaubert's Parrot
„What you end up remembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed.“
