Teaser Tuesdays – The Sense of an Ending

This book is full of so many beautiful quotes. I randomly opened the book two different times to get two equally beautiful quotes to convince you guys to go out there and read this book.

Here’s the first one:

What did I know of life, I who had lived so carefully? Who had neither won nor lost, but just let life happen to him?

And here’s the second one:

And no, it wasn’t shame I now felt, or guilt, but something rarer in my life and stronger than both: remorse. A feeling which is more complicated, curdled, and primeval. Whose chief characteristic is that nothing can be done about it: too much time has passed, too much damage has been done, for amends to be made.

Such a beautifully written book!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

  1. You’re right, both of those quotes are beautiful although I like the first one more. I think it’s really important to actively live your life, not let it pass you by! Thanks for sharing 🙂
