Kazuo Ishiguro Quotes
You See, We Were Able To Give You Something, Something Which Even Now No One Will Ever Take From You, And We Were Able To Do That Principally By Sheltering You. Hailsham Would Not Have Been Hailsham If We Hadn't. Very Well, Sometimes That Meant We Kept Things From You, Lied To You. Yes, In Many Ways We Fooled You, I Suppose You Could Even Call It That. But We Sheltered You During Those Years, And We Gave You Your Childhoods. Lucy Was Well-meaning Enough. But If She'd Have Her Way, Your Happiness At Hailsham Would Have Been Shattered. Look At You Both Now! I'm So Proud To See You Both. You Built Your Lives On What We Gave You. You Wouldn't Be Who You Are Today If We'd Not Protected You. You Wouldn't Have Become Absorbed In Your Lessons, You Wouldn't Have Lost Yourselves In Your Art And Your Writing. Why Should You Have Done, Knowing What Lay In Store For Each Of You? You Would Have Told Us It Was All Pointless, And How Could We Have Argued With You? So She Had To Go.
