To set one’s name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer’s day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten (W G Sebald Quotes)
This then, I thought, as I looked round about me, is the representation of history. It requires a falsification of perspective. We, the survivors, see everything from above, see everything at once, and still we do not know how it was (W G Sebald Quotes)
It is a sore point, because you do have advantages if you have access to more than one language. You also have problems, because on bad days you don’t trust yourself, either in your first or your second language, and so you feel like a complete halfwit (W G Sebald Quotes)
A wonderful story collection set between one place and another and shaped by a fearless sense of comedy (W G Sebald Quotes)
Human civilization has been no more than a strange luminescence growing more intense by the hour, of which no one can say when it will begin to wane and when it will fade away (W G Sebald Quotes)

Like our bodies and like our desires, the machines we have devised are possessed of a heart which is slowly reduced to embers (W G Sebald Quotes)
The moral backbone of literature is about that whole question of memory. To my mind it seems clear that those who have no memory have the much greater chance to lead happy lives (W G Sebald Quotes)
A subject which at first glance seems quite removed from the undeclared concern of the book can encapsulate that concern (W G Sebald Quotes)
And so they are ever returning to us, the dead (W G Sebald Quotes)
We all have appointments with the past (W G Sebald Quotes)

It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane (W G Sebald Quotes)
We learn from history as much as a rabbit learns from an experiment that’s performed upon it (W G Sebald Quotes)
At the time I could no more believe my eyes than I can now trust my memory (W G Sebald Quotes)
