Ian McEwan
“Sie flüsterte seinen Namen so behutsam wie ein Kind, das die einzelnen Worte probiert. Als er mit ihrem Namen antwortete, klangen die wenigen Silben wie ein neues Wort - der Laut war der gleiche, doch die Bedeutung hatte sich geändert. Und dann sprach er die drei Worte, die noch soviel schlechte Kunst, noch soviel Lug und Trug nicht ganz entwerten können. Sie wiederholte sie und legte genau die gleiche, leichte Betonung auf das zweite Wort, als wäre sie diejenige, die zuerst gesprochen hatte. Er glaubte an keinen Gott, doch es war unmöglich, nicht an eine unsichtbare Präsenz, an einen Zeugen im Zimmer zu denken und daran, dass diese laut gesprochenen Worte wie Unterschriften unter einem unsichtbaren Vertrag waren.”
Ian McEwan, Atonement

E. Lockhart
“A game like that is typical for Tipper. She looks for ways to squeeze any last drop of pleasure from a situation, to create joy and surprise whenever she can.”
E. Lockhart, Family of Liars

Zadie Smith
“Doesn't have to be useful,' my mother pressed. 'Art means not having to be useful! In West Africa, for example, a hundred years ago, there were some village women, they were making these strangely shaped pots, impractical pots, and the anthropologists couldn't understand what they were doing, but that was because, they, the scientists, were expecting a quote unquote "primitive" people to make only useful things, when actually they were making the pots just for their beauty - no different from a sculptor - no to collect water, not to hold grain, just for their beauty, and to say: we were here, at this moment in time, and this is what we made.”
Zadie Smith, Swing Time
tags: art, beauty, use

Paul Auster
“Jeder hat Freundlichkeit verdient, sagte ich. Egal wer.”
Paul Auster, Mond über Manhattan. Leviathan

Zadie Smith
“Maybe I put it wrong, I'm not a philosopher. To me it means something simple, like to say the future is already there, waiting for you. Why not wait, see what it brings?”
Zadie Smith, Swing Time
