Harry Mulisch Quotes

I’m afraid love is just a word Picture Quote #1

Using someone’s name during a conversation was like a casual caress, like stroking their hair Picture Quote #1

If you find life absurd, shouldn’t you find death precisely meaningful? Picture Quote #1

That question is too good to spoil with an answer Picture Quote #1

But nothing exists in the future; it is empty; one might die at any minute Picture Quote #1

All human beings were of course unique, and they only discovered that when someone else fell in love with them or when no one ever fell in love with them Picture Quote #1

Perhaps, he thought, true pure love, like all flowers, flourished best with its roots in muck and mud. Perhaps that was a law of life that held everything together Picture Quote #1

I never understood how anyone could feel small compared with the universe. After all, man knows how overwhelmingly large it is, and a few others things besides, and that means he is not small. The fact that man has discovered all this precisely proves his greatness Picture Quote #1

A man who has never been hungry may possess a more refined palate, but he has no idea what it means to eat Picture Quote #1

Besides, whoever keeps the future in front of him and the past at his back is doing something else that’s hard to imagine. For the image implies that events somehow already exist in the future, reach the present at a determined moment, and finally come to rest in the past. But nothing exists in the future; it is empty; one might die at any minute. Therefore such a person has his face toward the void, whereas it is the past behind him that is visible, stored in the memory Picture Quote #1
