Nicole Krauss nejznámější citáty

„Máma se od táty nikdy neodmilovala. Svou lásku k němu uchovala zrovna tak svěží jako to léto, kdy se seznámili. A aby to zvládla, odvrátila se od života. Občas vydrží celé dny o vodě a vzduchu. A jelikož je jedinou komplexní formou života, o níž je to známo, měl by se po ní pojmenovat nový živočišný druh.“

Nicole Krauss

Dějiny lásky

„Dveře mezi životy, které jsme mohli vést, a životy, které jsme vedli, se nám zabouchly před nosem.“

Nicole Krauss

Dějiny lásky

„Jsou chvíle, kdy na vás přijde jakási jasnozřivost a vy najednou prohlédnete skrz zdi do jiného rozměru, na který jste zapomněli nebo se rozhodli ho nevnímat, abyste mohli dál žít s nejrůznějšími iluzemi, díky nimž je život, zejména život s druhými, vůbec možný.“

Nicole Krauss kniha Great House

„…. přepadl mě onen rozjařený pocit jako z jiného světa, který někdy zakouším, když vstupuji do sféry života někoho jiného, pocit (který se na chvilku jeví jako zcela reálná možnost), že změním své banální návyky a začnu žít právě takhle, pocit, který se vždycky rozplyne hned další ráno, když se probudím do starých známých neměnných kulis svého vlastního života.“
