Orhan Pamuk Zitate
seite 2

Orhan Pamuk ist ein türkischer Schriftsteller.

Er gilt als einer der wichtigsten Schriftsteller seines Landes und ist Träger des Literatur-Nobelpreises 2006. In seiner Erzählkunst vermittelt er zwischen dem modernen europäischen Roman und der mystischen Tradition des Orients. Sein Werk ist mittlerweile in 35 Sprachen übersetzt und in über 100 Ländern veröffentlicht worden.

Auch sein im Wesentlichen menschenrechtlich begründetes politisches Engagement, mit dem er einerseits die türkische Regierung unter anderem zu historischer Aufklärung und Verantwortungsbereitschaft anhält und andererseits politisch und religiös begründeten Widerständen gegen einen EU-Beitritt der Türkei entgegentritt, zeigt ihn in einer beide Seiten fordernden Mittlerposition.

Orhan Pamuk Berühmte Zitate

„wir wären die Dichter unseres eigenen Lebens, wenn wir erst in den Zeitungen schrieben, was uns geschehen wird, und dann staunend die schönen Dinge erleben, die wir verfasst haben“

Orhan Pamuk buch Schnee

Snow

„Das echte Liebesleid nistet sich an der Basis unserer Existenz ein, erwischt uns unerbittlich an unserem schwächsten Punkt, greift von da auf alles andere über und verteilt sich unaufhaltsam über unseren ganzen Körper und unser ganzes Leben. Wenn wir unglücklich verliebt sind, dienen unsere sämtlichen Leiden und Sorgen, vom Tod des Vaters bis hin zum banalsten Missgeschick, wie zum Beispiel einem verlegten Schlüssel, als neuerlicher Auslöser für den Urschmerz, der stets bereit ist, wieder anzuschwellen. Wessen Leben durch die Liebe auf den Kopf gestellt wird, so wie meines, der meint immer, zusammen mit dem Liebesleid würden auch alle anderen Sorgen ein Ende finden, und so rührt er unwillkürlich immer wieder an der Wunde in sich drinnen.“

„Ist nicht eigentliches Ziel von Roman und Museum, unsere Erinnerungen so aufrichtig wie möglich zu erzählen und dadurch unser Glück in das Glück anderer zu verwandeln?“

The Museum of Innocence

“The question we writers are asked most often, the favorite question, is: Why do you write? I write because I have an innate need to write. I write because I can’t do normal work as other people do. I write because I want to read books like the ones I write. I write because I am angry at everyone. I write because I love sitting in a room all day writing. I write because I can partake of real life only by changing it. I write because I want others, the whole world, to know what sort of life we lived, and continue to live, in Istanbul, in Turkey. I write because I love the smell of paper, pen, and ink. I write because I believe in literature, in the art of the novel, more than I believe in anything else. I write because it is a habit, a passion. I write because I am afraid of being forgotten. I write because I like the glory and interest that writing brings. I write to be alone. Perhaps I write because I hope to understand why I am so very, very angry at everyone. I write because I like to be read. I write because once I have begun a novel, an essay, a page I want to finish it. I write because everyone expects me to write. I write because I have a childish belief in the immortality of libraries, and in the way my books sit on the shelf. I write because it is exciting to turn all life’s beauties and riches into words. I write not to tell a story but to compose a story. I write because I wish to escape from the foreboding that there is a place I must go but—as in a dream—can’t quite get to. I write because I have never managed to be happy. I write to be happy.”
