"I certainly believe we all suffer damage, one way or another. How could we not, except in a world of perfect parents, siblings, neighbours, companions? And then there is the question, on which so much depends, of how we react to the damage: whether we admit or repress it, and how this affects our dealings with others. Some admit the damage, and try to mitigate it; some spend their lives trying to help others who are damaged; and then there are those whose main concern is to avoid further damage to themselves, at whatever cost. And those are the ones who are ruthless, and the ones to be careful of."
- The Sense of an Ending, Julian Barnes
Denne er en thinker synes jeg. Jeg håper i alle fall temaer som dette er noe de fleste av oss tenker på en gang i blant. Boka er også interessant. Det må jeg si. Og når den heter noe så kryptisk som The Sense of an Ending er det jo ikke så mye annet å gjøre enn å lese boka i et eneste stort jafs for å finne ut av hvordan den slutter!
