Zitate Julian Barnes

„Manchmal glaube ich, es ist der Sinn des Lebens, uns mit seinem letzendlichen Verlust zu versöhnen, indem es uns zermürbt, uns beweist, auch wenn das eine Weile dauern kann, dass das Leben gar nicht so toll ist.“

— Julian Barnes
The Sense of an Ending

Über Leben, über glauben

„Die Bücher sagen: Sie hat es getan, weil. Das Leben sagt: Sie hat es getan. In den Büchern werden einem die Dinge erklärt; im Leben nicht. Es überrascht mich nicht, dass manche Leute Bücher vorziehen. Bücher verleihen dem Leben einen Sinn. Das Problem dabei ist nur, dass die Leben, denen sie Sinn verleihen, die Leben anderer Leute sind, niemals das eigene.“

— Julian Barnes
Flaubert's Parrot

Über Leben, über bücher

„Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.“

— Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

„This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„What you end up remembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„Women scheme when they are weak, they lie out of fear. Men scheme when they are strong, they lie out of arrogance.“

— Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

„To be stupid, and selfish, and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness - though if stupidity is lacking, the others are useless.“

— Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

„The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously.“

— Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

„Yes, of course we were pretentious -- what else is youth for?“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„Sometimes I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss by wearing us down, by proving, however long it takes, that life isn't all it's cracked up to be.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„Women were brought up to believe that men were the answer. They weren't. They weren't even one of the questions.“

— Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters

„I know this much: that there is objective time, but also subjective time, the kind you wear on the inside of your wrist, next to where the pulse lies. And this personal time, which is the true time, is measured in your relationship to memory.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„History isn't the lies of the victors, as I once glibly assured Old Joe Hunt; I know that now. It's more the memories of the survivors, most of whom are neither victorious or defeated.“

— Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

„The writer must be universal in sympathy and an outcast by nature: only then can he see clearly.“

— Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot
