“How could I long so for someone whose existence I’d only just become aware of? But wasn’t it always like this? Some things we never know we need until we find them.”

“Lesen ist kein Akt der Denunziation. Lesen heißt, sich in Beziehung zu setzen zu sprachlich verfassten Welten, die uns nicht gleichgültig lassen. Kritisch zu lesen heißt, mit dem Eintritt in diese Sprachwelten unsere intellektuelle Komfortzone zu verlassen.”
― Aus dem Nebel des Krieges: Die Gegenwart der Ukraine

“[...], ab und zu mußt du deine Dämonen auf Urlaub schicken, sie entsteigen ohnehin Nacht für Nacht deinen Lungen wie Brieftauben ihren Schlägen und fliegen auf Strecken, die nur sie kennen; [...]”

“But what I hate most is women always having to be passive … Why? Why are we always the ones running away and you are the ones chasing after us? Why is it always that we surrender and you take the spoils? Why is it that even in the way you beg, there is dominance, and pity in the way we refuse?”

“People can only get to know each other up to a point and then they make up the rest, until one day, seeing their mistake, they turn their backs on sadness and run away. Would this ever happen, if they stopped believing their dreams and made do with what was possible? If everyone accepted what was natural, then no one would suffer disappointment, no one would curse fate. We have every right to see our situation as pitiful, but we must confine our pity to ourselves. To pity another is to assume superiority and that is why we must never think we are superior to others, or that others are more unfortunate.”
