"We should not covet or expect the praise of ungodly men . . . the very fact that they are inclined to persecute us is proof that we are “not of the world."

"A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really..."Do the stars gaze back?" Now, that's a question."

Julian Barnes
"What does the novel do? It tells beautiful, shapely lies which enclose hard, exact truths."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"The better you know someone, the less well you often see them (and the less well they can therefore be transferred into fiction). They may be so close as to be out of focus, and there is no operating novelist to dispel the blur."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"Flaubert didn't just hate the railway as such; he hated the way it flattered people with the illusion of progress. What was the point of scientific advance without moral advance? The railway would merely permit more people to move about, meet and be stupid together."

Society

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"The best life for a writer is the life which helps him write the best books he can."

Success

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"Women scheme when they are weak, they lie out of fear. Men scheme when they are strong, they lie out of arrogance."

Behavior

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"Throw off your grief,' doubters imply, 'and we can all go back to pretending death doesn't exist, or at least is comfortably far away."

Life

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"The dangerous charm of GPC was that everything in the world could be called up; if you didn't look out, a couple of sessions might turn you from a serious enquirer into a mere gape-mouthed browser."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"His air of failure had nothing desperate about it; rather, it seemed to stem from an unresented realisation that he was not cut out for success, and his duty was therefore to ensure only that he failed in the correct and acceptable fashion."

Failure

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"When you're young you prefer the vulgar months, the fullness of the seasons. As you grow older you learn to like the in-between times, the months that can't make up their minds. Perhaps it's a way of admitting that things can't ever bear the same certainty again."

Life

Quote_1.png
Julian Barnes
"You get towards the end of life - no, not life itself, but of something else: the end of any likelihood of change in that life. You are allowed a long moment of pause, time enough to ask the question: what else have I done wrong?"
