Danh ngôn của Anita Brookner (Sứ mệnh: 8)

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.
I was a teacher most of my life, which I loved. I had a very happy working life, and when I retired, I thought I must do something, and I've always read a lot of fiction - you learn so much from fiction. My sentimental education came mostly from fiction, I should say, so I thought I'd try.
I never learnt Hebrew because my health was fragile, and it was thought that learning Hebrew would be an added burden. I regret it, because I would like to be able to join in fully. Not that I am a believer, but I would like to be.
