Rate das Literatur-Zitat
....nach ´Rate das Filmzitat´ und ´Rate die Liedzeile´ nun also auch der obligatorische Thread für Bücherwürmer....
Alle Sprachen sind erlaubt - ich mach mal den Anfang mit einem englischen Romancier des vergangenen Jahrhunderts und zitiere aus einem seiner nicht ganz sooo bekannten Frühwerke :
"Is that your sister?"
"Yes."
"I don't believe you. You're in love with her."
"Yes."
"You naughty boy!"
(...)
...Her dusty rightous antecedents pulled at her heart, but with all her intellect she claimed alliance with the present, this crooked day, this inhumanity...: "I've undone the damage I did when I sent him back, back from the barn to conform, to pick up the conventions, the manners of all the rest. He tried to break away and I sent him back..."
...love was not gratitude, love was not the dependance of the brain, this thought-reading , this inconvenience of shared pain, this was the unfortunate trick of being twins...
(.....)
And like the spider he withered, blown out no longer to meet contempt;
his body stretched doggo in the attitude of death, he lay there humbly
tempting God to lift the glass.
