Life Quotes Quote by Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Don't be afraid of the shadows, that only means there's a light nearby.”

“For a moment everything was clear, and when that happens you see that the world is barely there at all. Don't we all secretly know this? It's a perfectly balanced mechanism of shouts and echoes pretending to be wheels and cogs, a dreamclock chiming beneath a mystery-glass we call life. Behind it? Below it and around it? Chaos, storms. Men with hammers, men with knives, men with guns. Women who twist what they cannot dominate and belittle what they cannot understand. A universe of horror and loss surrounding a single lighted stage where mortals dance in defiance of the dark.”

“Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.”

“I know I wrote letters to people with no address on this earth, I know that you are dead. But I hear you. I hear all of you. We were here. Our lives matter.”

“Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”
