“Every planned experience has its moment when expectations meet reality, and often they don’t connect.”
Jill Homer, Ghost Trails: Journeys through a lifetime

Stefan Zweig
“Am liebsten hätte sie geschrien oder mit den Fäusten getobt, sich freizumachen von dem Grauen dieser Erinnerung, die fest wie ein Angelhaken in ihrem Gehirn saß, dieses wüste Gesicht mit seinem höhnischen Lachen, dieser Dunst von Gemeinheit, der aufstieg vom schlechten Atem der Proletarierin, dieser wüste Mund, der voll Haß ihr hart bis ins Gesicht die niedrigen Worte gespien, und die gehobene rote Faust, mit der sie ihr gedroht hatte.”
Stefan Zweig, Stefan Zweig. Das Gesamtwerk.: In chronologischer Auflage. Neu bearbeitet. (Gesamtwerke der Weltliteratur 4)

John Ironmonger

‘And a generous helping of time. The jeopardy is optional, but it makes for a better story. It’s like the grain of sand in the oyster that creates the pearl.”
John Ironmonger, Not Forgetting the Whale

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I should never call myself a feminist since feminists are women who are unhappy because they cannot find husbands.
So I decided to call myself a Happy Feminist.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

Christa Wolf
“Was man sich lange und oft genug denkt, verliert allen Schrecken. Gedanken nutzen sich ab wie Münzen, die von Hand zu Hand gehn, oder wie Vorstellungen, die man sich immer wieder vors innere Auge ruft.”
Christa Wolf
