Julian Barnes Quotes

She Sees Only What's Gone, I See Only What's Stayed The Same. Her Hair Is No Longer Halfway Down Her Back Or Pulled Up In A French Pleat; Nowadays It Is Cut Close To Her Skull And The Grey Is Allowed To Show.
Those Peasanty Frocks She Used To Wear Have Given Way To Cardigans And Well-cut Trousers. Some Of The Freckles I Once Loved Are Now Closer To Liver Spots. But It's Still The Eyes We Look At, Isn't It? That's Where We Found The Other Person, And Find Them Still. The Same Eyes That Were In The Same Head When We First Met, Slept Together, Married, Honeymooned, Joint-mortgaged, Shopped, Cooked And Holidayed, Loved One Another And Had A Child Together. And Were The Same When We Separated.
But It's Not Just The Eyes. The Bone Structure Stays The Same, As Do The Instinctive Gestures, The Many Ways Of Being Herself. And Her Way, Even After All This Time And Distance, Of Being With Me.
