Javier Marias Quotes

Everything That Happens To Us, Everything That We Say Or Hear, Everything That We See With Our Own Eyes Or We Articulate With Our Tongue, Everything That Enters Through Our Ears, Everything We Are Witness To (and For Which We Are Therefore Partially Responsible) Must Find A Recipient Outside Ourselves And We Choose That Recipient According To What Happens, Or What We Are Told Or Even According To What We Ourselves Say. Each Thing Must Be Told To Someone - Though Not Necessarily To The Same Person - And Each Thing Will Undergo A Selection Process, The Way Someone Out Shopping Might Scrutinize, Set Aside, And Assess Presents For The Season To Come. Everything Must Be Told At Least Once, Although ... It Must Be Told When The Time Is Right, Or, Which Comes To The Same Thing, At The Right Moment, And Sometimes, If You Fail To Recognize That Right Moment Or Deliberately Let It Pass, There Will Never Again Be Another.
