“A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat ... but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“No blame should attach to telling the truth. But it does, it does.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“Existentialism is about being a saint without God; being your own hero, without all the sanction and support of religion or society.”
