"Bin an dem Punkt angelangt, wo Benedict Wells einfach seine Einkaufsliste veröffentlichen könnte, und ich würde sie trotzdem lesen. Der biografische erste Teil war unglaublich fesselnd! Und einfach sehr nah und nachvollziehbar. Nix beschönigendes, sondern ehrlich." — Jan 03, 2026 10:07AM

“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.”

“Doch so komisch es klingt: Irgendwann hatten wir uns an die ungewisse Situation gewöhnt. Und zumindest nach außen schien alles normal. Innerlich aber warteten wir alle nur auf neue schlechte Nachrichten. Denn der Tod saß die ganze Zeit bei uns am Küchentisch, trank seinen Kaffee, blickte stumm auf die Uhr.”

“Es sollte echt ein Wort für dieses Gefühl geben“, sagte sie. „So was wie Euphancholie. Einerseits zerreißt’s dich vor Glück, gleichzeitig bist du schwermütig, weil du weißt, dass du was verlierst oder dieser Augenblick mal vorbei sein wird ... Dass alles mal vorbei sein wird.”

“Mein Vater war mir immer wie eine heruntergelassene Jalousie vorgekommen. Doch an jenem Mittag konnte ich zumindest durch die Ritzen spähen.”

“Love is.... it's bringing an umbrella when rain is forecasted, but, like not for you. It's serenading someone off-key in the kitchen while they chop red peppers lenghtwise because they know you like them better that way. It's pulling the car in backward at night because your parner gets edgy when they have to back into morning traffic. It's buying moisturizer in bulk because one time they mentioned they liked the scent.
It's noticing things.Seeing parts of them even they might not know exist because you've been studying them since the moment you first laid eyes on them. It's memorizing their phone number even if you have it programmed because God forbid you ever lost your contacts. It's reading their mood by the song blaring through their headphones. It's experiencing something so extraordinary you can't tell if it was just that mind-blowing or if it's only because they were there with you that you were so affected by it.”
