Frasi di Bernhard Schlink

1/7

Immagino che i dadi della mia vita possano ancora essere rimescolati e tirati nuovamente.

2/7

There's no need to talk about it, because the truth of what one says lies in what one does.

3/7

Desires, memories, fears, passions form labyrinths in which we lose and find and then lose ourselves again.

4/7

The Odyssey is the story of motion both purposeful and purposeless, successful and futile. What else is the history of law?

5/7

I can't say I'm thankful about being German because I sometimes experience it as a huge burden. But it is an integral part of me and I wouldn't want to escape it. I have accepted it.

6/7

The tectonic layers of our lives rest so tightly one on top of the other that we always come up against earlier events in later ones, not as matter that has been fully formed and pushed aside, but absolutely present and alive. I understand this. Nonetheless, I sometimes find it hard to bear.

7/7

I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.
