3 novels that make the world new again
All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened. - Ernest Hemingway, Papa Hemingway
- Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf
"Absorbing, mysterious, of infinite richness, this life."
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
"Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers. A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence."
- Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace
"What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human [...] is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic."
