Tony Judt Quotes

Love, It Seems To Me, Is That Condition In Which One Is Most Contentedly Oneself. If This Sounds Paradoxical, Remember Rilke's Admonition: Love Consists In Leaving The Loved One Space To Be Themselves While Providing The Security Within Which The Self May Flourish. As A Child, I Always Felt Uneasy And A Little Constrained Around People, My Family In Particular. Solitude Was Bliss, But Not Easily Obtained. Being Always Felt Stressful- Wherever I Was There Was Something To Do, Someone To Please, A Duty To Be Completed, A Role Inadequately Fulfilled: Something Amiss. Becoming, On The Other Hand, Was Relief. I Was Never So Happy As When I Was Going Somewhere On My Own, And The Longer It Took To Get There, The Better. Walking Was Pleasurable, Cycling Enjoyable, Bus Journeys Fun. But The Train Was Very Heaven.
