Sebastian Faulks Quotes.

1. "Depression - that limp word for the storm of black panic and half-demented malfunction - had over the years worked itself out in Charlotte's life in a curious pattern. Its onset was often imperceptible: like an assiduous housekeeper locking up a rambling mansion, it noiselessly went about and turned off, one by one, the mind's thousand small accesses to pleasure."
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

2. "I suppose that each of us may have a great moment in our life, a month, a week a year, when we are most fully what we are meant to be"
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

3. "There you are, sir. There's nothing more than to love and be loved."
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

4. "Shakespeare drew a map of the human mind as clearly as Newton mapped the heavens. Wht is one considered science and the other fir only to be mocked with jokes about pretty girls and drury lane?"

7. "Levade had told her one day that there was no such thing as a coherent personality. When you are forty you have no cell in your body that you had at eighteen. It was the same, he said, with your character. Memory is the only thing that binds you to earlier selves; for the rest, you become an entirely different being every decade or so, sloughing off the old persona, renewing and moving on. You are not who you were, he told her, nor who you will be."
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

8. "He wanted also to be forgiven for all he had done; he longed for the unity of the world's creation to melt his sins and anger, because his soul was joined to it. His body shook with the passion of the love that had found him, from which he had been exiled in the blood and the flesh of long killing."
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

9. "No child or future generation will ever know what this was like. They will never understand. When it is over we will go quietly among the living and we will not tell them. We will talk and sleep and go about our business like human beings. We will seal what we have seen in the silence of our hearts and no words will reach us."
- Quote by Sebastian Faulks

10. "People wonder why you choose certain subjects to write about. The truth is: you don't really. They choose you"
