Quote by Jane Austen

Work

Northanger abbey

Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland, a naive and bookish young woman who is invited to stay with the wealthy Tilney family at their ancient home, Northanger Abbey. Influenced by the Gothic novels she loves, Catherine begins to imagine that the abbey harbors dark secrets, including a possible murder. As she becomes entangled in social relationships and romantic misunderstandings, she must learn to distinguish between fiction and reality. The novel gently satirizes the conventions of Gothic fiction while exploring themes of social class, imagination, and personal growth. more

“People are naturally drawn together – those who belong to each other. It’s a very instinctive thing. Such important decisions as who to let into our life and in what way we will let that person in are best made from a deep knowing in our heart. Many relationships seem irrational to other people. Sometimes, the depth of a relationship and what the people will do to remain together may seem incomprehensible. If we understand there is a certain belonging to each other then it helps to go with the flow of life. Sometimes, people come together for a short time as that is the design of that relationship. Sometimes, it’s a lifetime. Sometimes, it’s much longer than one life on Earth.”

“Wenn ich mir so ansehe, wie du dich laufend veränderst, muss ich immer wieder feststellen, wie sehr der Mensch einem Gefäß ähnelt, wirklich. Ein Gefäß, dessen Inhalt jederzeit veränderlich, austauschbar ist. So ist auch der Mensch in der Lage, ein anderer zu werden. Das Prinzip ist gleich: Du gehst deinen Weg, und die Fügungen des Schicksals sorgen zwar dafür, dass du immer wieder Neues hineintust, aber ganz unten , auf dem Boden unter diesem sich ständig wandelnden Inhalt, bleibt das Gefäß letztlich doch dasselbe, da lieft die "Sakumi", die du immer bleiben wirst, das, was man vielleicht "Seele" nennen könnte, und nur das allein ändern sich erstaunlicherweise nicht, es bleibt immer da , nimm alles auf, versucht sich zu freuen. Wenn ich daran denke, dass das immer dasein wird, bis du stirbst, bin ich so gerührt, irgendwie so schmerzlich berührt, dass ich nicht mehr ein noch aus weiß!”
