Javier Marias Quotes

But Until That Happens -- And However Brief A Life, It Will Take A While -- There Is A Terrible, Hateful Interlude That Belongs To Us Alone, And During Which We Have No Alternative But To Cope With What We Have Done Or Omitted To Do And To Distract Or Placate Our Feelings Of Guilt, And Sometimes The Only Way Of Achieving This Is To Increase That Guilt, To Heap Up New Guilt To Cover The Old, To Overshadow Or Blur Or Minimize It, Until Finally All Guilt Has Passed And There Isn't A Soul In The World Who Can Remember What We Did, No Quick, Wicked Tongue To Talk About It, Not Even A Tremulous Finger To Point Us Out As Having Been The Cause Of Anything.
