Jonathan Tropper Berühmte Zitate

„Wir sehen Menschen, die wir lieben, meist nur so, wie wir sie im Kopf haben. Hin und wieder aber erhaschen wir zufällig einen Blick darauf, wie sie in Wirklichkeit aussehen, und in den Sekundenbruchteilen, die unser Gehirn braucht, um sich auf die neue Realität einzustellen, kommen kleine Dinge in uns vom Weg ab und wirbeln schreiend irgendeinen Abhang hinunter.“

Jonathan Tropper

How to Talk to a Widower

„Solange unsere Gedanken nicht durch Scham oder Schuldgefühle gefiltert werden, sind sie selbstsüchtig oder lieblos und daher größtenteils zu keinem Zeitpunkt für den öffentlichen Konsum gedacht, da sie entweder verletzend wären oder uns wie die selbstsüchtigen, lieblosen Bastarde dastehen ließen, die wir nun mal sind. Das, woran wir andere teilhaben lassen, sind nicht unsere wahren Gedanken, sondern sorgfältig geschönte, verwässerte Versionen, sozusagen Hollywood-Adaptionen der ursprünglichen Gedanken.“

„Man muss die Originalität des eigenen Lebens infrage stellen wenn es sich mit den Zeilen eines Rocksongs perfekt umschreiben lässt.“

“You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.”

yourself without thinking about it.”
