"Literature is analysis after the event."

Literature

"A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants: demagogues can persecute writers and tell them what to write as much as they like, but they cannot vanish what has been written in the past, though they try often enough...People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself."

Education

"Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty."

Reading

"Or like an old friend one has known too well and doesn't want to see."

Friendship

"I read this over today, for the first time since I wrote it. It's full of nostalgia, every word loaded with it, although at the time I wrote it I thought I was being 'objective.' Nostalgia for what? I don't know. Because I'd rather die than have to live through any of that again. And the 'Anna' of that time is like an enemy, or like an old friend one has known too well and doesn't want to see."

Nostalgia

"Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel."

Friendship

"The boulder is the truth that the great men know by instinct, and the mountain is the stupidity of mankind."

Greatness

"It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction."

Truth

"Pleasure resorts are like film stars and royalty... embarrassed by the figures they cut in the fantasies of people who have never met them."

People

"We use our parents like recurring dreams, to be entered into when needed."
