Blinders als blind ist die Aengstlicher
Стоя прав с чаша в ръка, пълна с джин, който не обичам, и пия; не помръдвам от мястото си, за да не чувам стъпки в жилището си – своите собствени стъпки. Всичко това съвсем не е трагично, а просто тяг...
Ненавистта ми към самия мен!(Ако можеше да се започне животът отначало!)
Zu den glücklichsten Minuten, die ich kenne, gehört die Minute, [...] Menschen sind eine Anstrengung für mich, auch Männer. Was die Stimmung betrifft, so mache ich mir nichts draus, wie gesagt. Manchm...
Hanna had no use for statistics, I soon realized that. She let me deliver a whole lecture—in the bathroom—about statistics, and at the end all she said was: Your bath is getting cold.
Колко дълго вярва едно дете?
I really began to feel that the young were beyond me. I often appeared to myself a deceiver. Why? I didn’t want to undermine her belief that Tivoli surpassed anything I had ever seen anywhere and that...
Das wirkliche Leben, meint er, sei ja so anders...Jedenfalls das seine, denkt er: da erkennt man keinen klaren Ablauf und keinen roten Faden, da zerrinnt es einfach, ohne Abschnitt und ohne Tat, die L...

– aber vor allem: standhalten, dem Licht, der Freude (wie unser Kind als es sang) im Wissen, dass ich erlösche im Licht über Ginster, Asphalt und Meer, standhalten der Zeit, beziehungsweise Ewigkeit i...
Я не признаю самоубийства. Оно ведь не меняет того факта, что ты жил на земле, а в ту минуту я желал лишь одного — никогда не существовать...
What’s the difference between contraception and abortion? Both are expressions of the human will not to have children.
I waited, my hand around the stem, to clink glasses; I wasn’t in the least interested in Herr Piper, a man who lived in East Germany out of conviction
A woman with time on her hands in the morning, a woman who wanders about before she is dressed, for example, rearranging flowers in a vase and talking about love and marriage, is something no man can...
We talked about constellations—the usual thing, when two people haven’t yet discovered which one knows less about the stars than the other; the rest is romantic fantasy, which I can’t bear.
The main thing is to stand up to the light, to joy (like our child) in the knowledge that I shall be extinguished in the light over gorse, asphalt, and sea, to stand up to time, or rather to eternity...
The Indians were far too gentle, too peaceable, positively childlike. They squatted for whole evenings in their white straw hats on the earth, motionless as toadstools, content without light, silent....
