Impressions

    Когда ты молод, очень сложно отличить случайность от вечности. Дни проносятся мимо, а потом оказывается, что они остались с тобой навсегда. Как Барнс умеет сказать о невыразимом? Восхищаюсь.

Quotes

  • gal3011has quoted6 years ago
    That’s one of the things about life. We’re all just looking for a place of safety. And if you don’t find one, then you have to learn how to pass the time.
  • Диас Нектоhas quoted3 years ago
    For instance, I remember lying in bed one night, being kept awake by one of those stomach-slapping erections which, when you are young, you carelessly – or carefreely – imagine will last you the rest of your life. But this one was different. You see, it was a kind of generalised erection, unconnected to any person, or dream, or fantasy. It was more about just being joyfully young. Young in brain, heart, cock, soul – and it just happened to be the cock which best articulated that general state.
  • Юрий Кунгуровhas quoted3 years ago
    The time, the place, the social milieu? I’m not sure how important they are in stories about love.
