"Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things — naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror — are too terrible to really grasp ever at all. It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself — quite to one's surprise — in an entirely different world."
The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
