I watched Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel back in early 2015, and it easily situated itself in my favorite films list. It was also the film that got me curious about Stefan Zweig. So far I've only read the first two stories in this collection, but I am absolutely smitten with his writing. ❤
I'd say this is a good start to 2017.
"What does seventy million years mean to beings who live only one-millionth as long? We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”
"...things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully."
Originally, I had no plan to read this until I saw it at a book fair and felt drawn to it. I've heard that this is quite emotional; is that an understatement?
