"Until then her view of time was the present moving forward and devouring the future; she either feared its swiftness (when she was awaiting something difficult) or rebelled at its slowness (when she was awaiting something fine). Now time has a very different look; it is no longer the conquering present capturing the future; it is the present conquered and captured and carried off by the past. She sees a young man disconnecting himself from her life and going away, forevermore out of her reach. Mesmerized, all she can do is watch this piece of her life move off; all she can do is watch it and suffer. She is experiencing a brand-new feeling called nostalgia."

"Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline."
Success
"Heresy is another word for freedom of thought."
Thought
"A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction."
Truth
"The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths."
Truth
"Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered."
Wisdom
"The moment comes when a character does or says something you hadn't thought about. At that moment he's alive and you leave it to him."
Thought
"Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are."
Life
"People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery."
Men
"Failure too is a form of death."
Death
