Paul Auster Quote

وتعلْمتُ منذ ذلك الحين ألاّ أُفرِط في أخذ الأشياء التي تُقال لي على محمل الجد. ليس لأنَّه يحق للناس أنْ يكذبوا عليك، ولكن عندما يتعلَّق الأمر بالماضي، تصبح الحقيقة مُبهمة بسرعة. وتبرز الأساطير في غضون ساعات، وتسري الحكايات المُضخَّمة، وسرعان ماتُدفَن الحقائق تحت جبلٍ من النظريات الغريبة.
