Letters are the biographer's gold mine; they reveal what official records conceal.
A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way.
Memory is a slippery thing, always shifting and reshaping itself.
The best books are those that tell you what you know already.
We are all haunted by something, whether we admit it or not.
Sometimes the things that are most real are the things you can't see.
Memory is a tricky thing. It doesn't just recall events, it reshapes them.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
"Memory is a tricky thing - it can be both a prison and a liberation."
"Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you."
"Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin."
"We are all haunted by something, aren't we?"
"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. It’s not a film you can replay. It’s more like a story you tell yourself, and the story changes every time."
"Love is the only thing that makes life bearable in the end."
"War is an abomination, but it is also a revealer of souls."
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.
"Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you."
"All the time you spend trying to get back what's been taken from you, more is going out the door."
I think people believe in heaven because they don’t like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don’t like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish.
People believe in God because the world is very complicated and they think it is very unlikely that anything as complicated as a flying squirrel or the human eye or a brain could happen by chance.
