Julian Barnes Quote

Sav taj napor - čemu? Nema formalnog odgovora glavnom talasu slike, baš kao što nema odgovora ni većini ljudskih osećanja. Ne samo nadi, već bilo kakvoj tegobnoj čežnji: častoljublju, mržnji, ljubavi (naročito ljubavi) - kako retko naša osećanja nailaze na predmet kakav se čini da zaslužuju? Kako očajničke znake dajemo, kako je nebo tamno, kako su veliki valovi. Svi smo izgubljeni na pučini, bacani od nade do očajanja, dozivamo nešto što nam možda nikad neće priteći u pomoć.
