Additional quotes by John Fowles
The evolution of human mentality has put us all in vitro now, behind the glass wall of our own ingenuity.
It came to me…that I didn’t want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment, that what I was feeling at that moment justified all I had been through, because all I had been through was my being there. I was experiencing…a new self-acceptance, a sense that I had to be this mind and this body, its vices and its virtues, and that I had no other chance or choice.
We all want things we can't have. Being a decent human being is accepting that.
