More From Bernhard Schlink

Assurance grows by repeated conflict, by our repeated experimental proof of the lord's power and goodness to save; when we have been brought very low and helped, sorely wounded and healed, cast down and raised again, have given up all hope, and been suddenly snatched from danger, and placed in safety; and when these things have been repeated to us and in us a thousand times over, we begin to learn to trust simply to the word and power of god, beyond and against appearances: and this trust, when habitual and strong, bears the name of assurance; for even assurance has degrees.

There were two forests for every one you entered. there was the one you walked in, the physical echo, and then there was the one that was connected to all the other forests, with no consideration of distance, or time. the forest primeval, remembered through the collective memory of every tree in the same way that people remembered myth- through the collective subconscious that jung mapped, the shared mythic resonance that lay buried in every human mind. legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. with awe.

I know something about that war, and i never want to see that history repeated. but, my fellow americans, it certainly can be repeated if the peace-loving democratic nations again fearfully practice a policy of standing idly by while big aggressors use armed force to conquer the small and weak.

Every great improvement has come after repeated failures. virtually nothing comes out right the first time. failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. one fails forward toward success.

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. here again is the mystery of generation repeated.

The look anthony shot at his sister was so comically malevolent simon nearly laughed. he managed to restrain himself, but mostly just because he was fairly certain that any show of humor would cause anthony's fist to lose its battle with his brain, with simon's face emerging as the conflict's primary casualty.
