Kindle Notes & Highlights
Now that he had recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible.
Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
Today there were fear, hatred, and pain, but no dignity of emotion, no deep or complex sorrows.
When there were no external records that you could refer to, even the outline of your own life lost its sharpness.
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date.
