My family were Polish Jews, and we lived with my grandmother, with uncles and aunts and cousins all around, and I thought everybody lived like that.  (Anita Brookner Quotes) I was a teacher most of my life, which I loved. I had a very happy working life, and when I retired, I thought I must do something, and I’ve always read a lot of fiction - you learn so much from fiction. My sentimental education came mostly from fiction, I should say, so I thought I’d try.  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Fiction is the great repository of the moral sense. The wicked get punished  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Writing has freed me from the despair of living  (Anita Brookner Quotes) I think you always feel braver in another language  (Anita Brookner Quotes) It is best to marry for purely selfish reasons  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Satire is dependent on strong beliefs, and on strong beliefs wounded  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Always let them think of you as singing and dancing  (Anita Brookner Quotes) You can never betray the people who are dead  (Anita Brookner Quotes) I suppose what one wants really is ideal company and books are ideal company  (Anita Brookner Quotes) And without understanding, could each properly love the other?  (Anita Brookner Quotes) Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has  (Anita Brookner Quotes) A man of such obvious and exemplary charm must be a liar  (Anita Brookner Quotes)
