Kindle Notes & Highlights
Up to this point the story is banal;
No kidding
Tony never got angry, never argued, as if he could see absolutely no point in trying to make someone else agree with him, as if, for him, everyone was lost, so how could one lost person presume to show another the way. Especially since the way, as well as being hidden from everyone, probably didn’t even exist.
I think I even got married.
These stories are like slow motion sneezes. Tedious and void of substance.
He also knows that the story of his relationship with U is not the story of a banal grudge.
If you say so
That year, for reasons that are neither particularly germane to this story nor, it strikes me now, particularly interesting, I spent a few days in Irapuato, the Strawberry Capital, where I stayed with a dentist friend who was going through a rough patch.
Arguably, not a single ones of these stories is "particularly interesting".
the secret story is the one we’ll never know, although we’re living it from day to day, thinking we’re alive, thinking we’ve got it all under control and the stuff we overlook doesn’t matter. But every single damn thing matters! Only we don’t realize. We just tell ourselves that art runs on one track and life, our lives, on another, and we don’t realize that’s a lie.
