Quote by Nina LaCour

“Sei kein Mensch, der nach Traurigkeit strebt. Davon gibt es im Leben genug. [...] Ich hatte die Traurigkeit verdrängt. Fand sie in Büchern. Weinte über Romane statt über die Wirklichkeit. Die Wirklichkeit war schnörkellos, bodenlos. -S. 80”

“Dưới chân cầu, sông thản nhiên trôi. Trên thành cầu, ngàn tỉ những câu vô nghĩa người ta thi nhau viết về một ai đó, một kỉ niệm nào đó. Tôi từng nhìn thấy những chiếc khóa tình yêu rỉ sét ở trên cây cầu này. Khi đó tôi tự hỏi lòng: mối tình của mấy người này còn sống hay đã chết? Không có gì tồn tại vĩnh hằng, mà sao người ta cứ phải tự huyễn hoặc mình và huyễn hoặc nhau?”

“I cannot help but remind myself that all that time, you knew the truth. You allowed yourself to slowly make terms with your decision, while I was kept in the dark - sensing the instability of your delicate ship, but desperately tugging at the sails anyhow. You quietly become acquainted with your little white lie, while I was building my entire life around it. So when it was time for you to jump ship, you were safe. Held securely by the life raft you spent those months building, that I wasn't even able to see. While I was left stranded on a ship that was sinking. My life drowning in water, eyes frantically searching for your hands to say goodbye.”
