After Nature Quotes

“All things, my son, transmute
into old age, life diminishes,
everything declines,
the proliferation
of kinds is a mere
illusion, and no one
knows to what end.”
― W.G. Sebald, After Nature

“Always the same gentleness, the same burden of grief, the same irregularity of the eyes, veiled and sliding sideways down into loneliness.”
― W.G. Sebald, After Nature
