It’s a deeply insightful expression of understanding, an extension of empathy, distilled into one potent line. In context, it’s one of the most powerful statements in the entire novel. Out of context, it is an ambiguous, awkwardly phrased sentence that makes my fingers itch to shove in some punctuation. It was this simple line that made me realise that I not only liked, but respected this book. ”You might be looking for reasons but there are no reasons.” ![]()
