Donna Tartt Berühmte Zitate

„Und so gern ich an eine Wahrheit jenseits der Illusion glauben würde, glaube ich doch inzwischen, dass es sie nicht gibt, denn zwischen der Realität auf der einen Seite und dem Punkt, an dem der Geist die Realität trifft, gibt es eine mittlere Zone, einen Regenbogenrand, wo die Schönheit ins Dasein kommt, wo zwei sehr unterschiedliche Oberflächen sich mischen und verwischen und bereitstellen, was das Leben nicht bietet. Und das ist der Raum, in dem alle Kunst existiert und alle Magie, und - das würde ich noch behaupten - alle Liebe.“

„Und bei diesem strammen kleinen Porträt ist es nicht schwer, das Menschliche in dem Finken zu sehen. Würdevoll, verwundbar. Ein Gefangener, der einen anderen anschaut.“

The Goldfinch

„Was ist, wenn einer zufällig von einem Herzen besessen ist, dem nicht zu trauen ist? Wenn dein tiefstes Inneres dich singend zum Scheiterhaufen lockt, sollst du dich dann lieber abwenden, dir die Ohren mit Wachs verstopfen, den perversen Glanz ignorieren, von dem dein Herz dir zubrüllt? […] Oder ist es besser, dich - wie Boris - kopfüber und lachend in das heilige Wüten zu stürzen, das deinen Namen ruft?“
