Cecelia Ahern Zitate

seite 2

„Und das Leben ist nun einmal nichts weiter als eine Abfolge von Momenten, und Momente ändern sich ständig, genau wie unsere Gedanken, negative wie positive. Und obgleich es in der menschlichen Natur liegt, sie festhalten zu wollen, ist es - wie viele andere natürliche Dinge auch - vollkommen sinnlos. Es ist sinnlos, sich an einen Gedanken zu klammern, denn Gedanken sind wie Gäste oder Schönwetterfreunde. Sie kommen und gehen, und selbst diejenigen, die lange brauchen, um sich vollständig zu entwickeln, können im Handumdrehen wieder verschwinden. Momente sind kostbar; manchmal verweilen sie, manchmal sind sie flüchtig wie der Wind, und doch kann in einem einzigen Moment so viel geschehen. Mann kann seine Meinung ändern, man kann ein Leben retten - und man kann sich sogar verlieben.“

„Das Meer war ein lebendiges Wesen, so unberechenbar wie ein großer Theaterschauspieler: es konnte ruhig und freundlich sein, konnte sein Publikum mit offenen Armen willkommen heißen und schon im nächsten Moment sein stürmisches Temperament unter Beweis stellen, Menschen herumschleudern, als wollte es sie hinauswerfen, konnte Küsten attackieren und ganze Inseln zerstören. Es hatte verspielte Seiten, es mochte die Menschen, schaukelte Kinder, kippte Luftmatratzen, brachte Windsurfer aus dem Gleichgewicht, ging aber gelegentlich auch Seeleuten helfend zur Hand – alles mit einem verschmitzten Kichern.“

“Don't ever take for granted when people look in your eyes; you have no idea how important it is to be acknowledged. Even if it's an angry stare, because it's when they ignore you, when they look right through you, that you should start worrying.”

“Nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experience downs?”

“What was that thing that could make two people promise one another to spend every day of the rest of their lives together? Ah, I found it. It was a thing called love. A small simple word.”

But what I didn’t know was that within a few hours all those plans would change. Ms. Know-it-all didn’t quite know it all so much then.”

“That was all part of giving someone a piece of your heart; they ended up taking a whole chunk of your mind and reserving it all for themselves.”

“So now, all alone or not, you gotta walk ahead. Thing to remember is if we're all alone, then we're all together in that too.”
