Michael Cunningham nejznámější citáty

„Můžu Ti říct o holkách jedno tajemství?

Ne.
Mají rády, když jsi na ně hodný. Překvapilo by tě, jak daleko se se spoustou holek dostaneš, když k nim prostě přijdeš a řekneš: Podle mě jsi skvělá; podle mě jsi krásná. Ony totiž všechny mají strach, že nejsou.“

Michael Cunningham kniha By Nightfall

„Provádí s jazykem totéž, co Jimi Hendrix s kytarou.“

Michael Cunningham

„Máš to v sobě, tak se to opovaž někde nechat ležet, protože jestli to najdu vyhozené v popelnici, tak tě k ní vlastnoručně dotáhnu a budeš to muset zase vyhrabat; a věř mi, že najít ztracený ideál dá zatraceně moc práce…“

Michael Cunningham

„Laura po Kitty touží. Po její síle, po tom, jak věcně, pohodově přijímá všechna svá zklamání, po mihotavých růžovozlatých světlech její utajené osobnosti, po křehkých našamponovaných hlubinách jejích vlasů.“

Michael Cunningham kniha Hodiny

The Hours

„Tajemství letu je toto - musíte to udělat okamžitě, než si vaše tělo uvědomí, že je v rozporu se zákony.“

Michael Cunningham

„Nebyl jsem ženský, ani mužský. Byl jsem něco úplně jiného. Bylo tolik různých způsobů, jak být krásný.“

Michael Cunningham

“A celestial light appeared to Barrett Meeks in the sky over Central Park, four days after Barrett had been mauled, once again, by love. It was by no means his first romantic dropkick, but it was the first to have been conveyed by way of a five-line text, the fifth line of which was a crushingly corporate wish for good luck in the future, followed by three lowercase xxx’s.”
