„Aber irgendwie wurde ich trotzdem das ungute Gefühl nicht los, dass sie mich weggeschickt hatten, weil sie sich vor mir fürchteten. Wie ein entsetzlich missgestaltetes Kind, das eigentlich das Säuglingsalter nicht hätte überstehen sollen, oder wie ein siamesischer Zwilling, dessen andere Hälfte unter dem Messer gestorben war, so war ich einfach nur dadurch, dass ich überlebt hatte, zu einem Monstrum geworden.“

„Irgendwo hab ich gelesen, dass das letzte Wort auf der Black Box eines jeden abgestürzten Flugzeugs, das Letzte, was der Pilot sagt, wenn er weiß, dass er sterben wird, 'Mama' ist. Wenn dir mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit die ganze Welt und das ganze Leben entrissen wird, ist dieses Wort das Einzige, was dir bleibt.“

Tana French buch The Likeness

The Likeness

„Wer schon mal im Traum in sein Lieblingsbuch oder seinen Lieblingsfilm oder seine Lieblingsfernsehserie hineinspaziert ist, kann sich vielleicht ungefähr vorstellen, was das für ein Gefühl war: wenn alles um dich herum lebendig wird, seltsam und neu und ungemein vertraut zugleich; dein stolpernder Herzschlag, wenn du dich durch die Räume bewegst, die in deinen Gedanken ein so plastisches, unberührbares Leben hatten, wenn deine Füße den Teppichboden tatsächlich berühren, wenn du diese Luft atmest. Das sonderbare, heimliche warme Gefühl, wenn diese Leute, die du so lange und aus so großer Ferne beobachtet hast, ihren Kreis öffnen und dich hereinziehen.“

„Im gesamten Leben zählen nur einige wenige Augenblicke. Meistens merkt man das erst im Nachhinein, wenn sie längst an einem vorbeigezischt sind: der Augenblick, in dem du beschlossen hast, das Mädchen anzusprechen, vor der unübersichtlichen Kurve abzubremsen, doch noch das Kondom hervorzuholen. Ich hatte Glück, könnte man wohl sagen. Ich bekam einen meiner entscheidenden Augenblicke voll und ganz mit und erkannte ihn als solchen. Ja, ich spürte den reißenden Sog meines Lebens um mich herumwirbeln, als ich in einer dunklen Winternacht oben am Faithful Place stand und wartete.“
