As I looked and looked, the living face became visible in the dead, the young in the old. This is what must happen to old married couples, I thought: the young man is preserved in the old one for her, the beauty and grace of the young woman stay fresh in the old one for him. - Bernhard Schlink
why does what was beautiful shatter in hindsight because it concealed dark truths? - Bernhard Schlink
We make our own truths and lies....Truths are often lies and lies truths... - Bernhard Schlink
