Jennifer Egan Zitate und Sprüche

„Je zittriger und erschöpfter Davis von seinen Liegestützen wird, umso mehr vermischen sich die normalen Wörter, die wir alle jeden Tag benutzen, mit den Wörtern, die er zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt in seinem Leben benutzt haben muss […] Und als mir Davis' alte Wörter erst einmal aufgefallen waren, fing ich an, sie überall zu hören, denn dieser Ort hier ist ein Wortgefängnis - Wörter bleiben hier stecken, sind gefangen von dem Moment an, an dem in unserem alten Leben die Uhr stehengeblieben ist […] und ich schnappe mir diese Ausdrücke, ich fange sie in meinem Kopf und ich bewahre sie auf. Denn jedes davon hat die DNA eines ganzen Lebens in sich, eines Lebens, in das diese Worte gepasst und in dem sie einen Sinn ergeben haben, weil alle anderen sie ebenfalls benutzten. Ich sammle diese Wörter, und später, wenn ich das Notizbuch aufschlage, im dem ich dieses Tagebuch führe, […] trage ich eins nach dem anderen ein. Und aus irgendeinem Grund versetzt mich das in gute Laune, wie Geld auf der Bank.“
