Julian Barnes Quote

Βάζεις μαζί δυο ανθρώπους που δεν είχαν ξαναβρεθεί ποτέ και άλλοτε ο κόσμος αλλάζει, άλλοτε όχι. Μπορεί να συντριβούν και να καούν ή να καούν και να συντριβούν. Μερικές φορές συμβαίνει όμως κάτι πρωτόφαντο και τότε ο κόσμος αλλάζει. Μαζί, μες την πρώτη εκείνη έξαρση, την πρώτη εκείνη φλογερή αίσθηση ανάτασης, είναι καλύτεροι απ' ό,τι είναι ο καθένας μόνος του. Βλέπουν μακρύτερα και βλέπουν καθαρότερα.
