[Lieblingszitate/Favorite Quotes] Rebecca

Die Rezension zu Rebecca findet ihr hier.

"I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of the first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say. They are not brave, the days when we are twenty-one."

"Don´t be angry at me anymore", I whispered.
"He took my facee in his hands, and looked down at me with his tired, strained eyes. "I´m not angry with you.", he said.
"Yes," I said. "I´ve made you unhappy. It´s the same as making you angry. You´re all wounded and hurt and torn inside. I can´t bear to see you like this. I love you so much."
"Do you?" he said. "Do you?" He held me very tight, and his eyes questioned me, dark and uncertain, the eyes of a child in pain, a child in fear.

"Would we never be together, he a man and I a woman, standing shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, with no guilt between us? I did not want to be a child. I wanted to be his wife, his mother. I wanted to be old."

"Please promise me never to wear black satin or pearls... or to be 36 years old."

"The roses were hers and i cut them. Did she resent me and fear me as I resented her? I could fight the living but I could not fight the dead. If there was some woman in London that Maxim loved, someone he wrote to, visited, dined with, slept with, I could fight with her. We would stand on common ground. I should not be afraid. Anger and jealousy were things that could be conquered. One day the woman would grow old or tired or different, and Maxim would not love her any more. But Rebecca would never grow old. Rebecca would always be the same. And her I could not fight. She was too strong for me."

"No, it's not too late. You're not to say that. I love you more than anything in the world. Oh, please Maxim, kiss me please." "No, it's no use. It's too late."

"I'm asking you to marry me, you little fool."

[Lieblingszitate/ Favorite quotes] Eclipse

Müsste ich die Twilight Reihe bewerten, wäre Eclipse auf dem letzten Platz. Heißt aber nicht, dass das Buch nicht eine ganze Reihe erinnerungswürdiger Zitate bereit hält. Offensichtlich ist Jacob in diesem Buch mein klarer Favorit. Edward hat ja eigentlich in Band eins ganz charmant angefangen, aber in Eclipse nervt er mich sogar dann, wenn er gar nicht in der Szene auftaucht... Außerdem finde ich das Rumgeschwafel zwischen Edward und Bella in diesem Teil extrem. Im Gegensatz zu vielen Anderen hat mir deshalb der vierte Band wesentlich besser gefallen als der Dritte. Das beste an Eclipse sind meiner Meinung nach ja eindeutig die Szenen zwischen Edward und Jacob!

"If you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don´t care whose fault it is; I don´t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her head - if you return her to me in less then the perfect condition I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?"

“She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair.”

“Does my being half-naked bother you?”


“He’s playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. Don’t blame me because he’s a better manipulator than I am — I haven’t been around long enough to learn all his tricks.”


“He’s like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can’t live without him now. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.”

“The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.”


"Would you like me to help you sleep, Jacob?"

"I really wish you were not forcing me to say to say this out loud Dad. Really. But.. I am a... virgin. And I have no immediate plans to change that status."

"Fall down again, Bella?"
"No Emmett, I punched a werewolf in the face."


Jakob was curled up, his eyes already closed. He yawned.
"I didn´t say it wasn´t the best night I ever spent. Just that I didn´t get a lot of sleep. [...]"
"I´m glad you enjoyed yourself." Edward murmured.
Jacob´s dark eyes fluttered open. "Didn´t you have a nice night, then?" he asked, smug.
"Did it make the top ten?" Jacob asked with perverse enjoyment.
"Possibly."
Jacob smiled and closed his eyes.
"But" Edward went on, "if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that."
Jacob´s eyes opened in a glare, he sat up stiffly.
"You know what`I think it´s too crowded in here."

Some say the world will end in fire

Some say in ice.

From what I´ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

(Gedicht von Robert Frost, aus dem Vorwort. Love it.)

"All our attempts at subterfuge had been in vain. With ice in my heart I watched him prepare to defend me."

Wie gesagt nicht mein Lieblingsband. It´s getting cheesy. Meine Top 5 least favorite quotes:


Platz 5: "I love him. Not because he´s beautiful or because he is rich. I´d much rather he weren´t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little - because he´d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I´ve ever met. Of course I love him."

Platz 4: " What did it mean, that I didn´t want him to stop? That my hands clung to his shoulders and liked that they were wide and  strong? That his hands pulled me too tight angainst his body and yet it was not tight enough for me?"

Platz 3: "I´ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years."

Platz 2: "I had no right to want you - but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what´s become of you. Trying to seduce a vampire."


Platz 1: "I´ll be back so soon, you won´t have time to miss me. Look after my heart - I´ve left it with you!"
urgs?

[Lieblingszitate/ Favorite quotes] Matilda

Ab heute existiert auf 100Bücher eine neue Kategorie: Lieblingszitate. Es gibt immer so viele herrliche Zitate und Rezensionen sind viel zu kurz dafür. (Meine Rezension zu Matilda findet ihr hier.) Viel Spaß


"You must have dyed you hair Dad," the son said. "It´s the same colour as Mum´s, only much dirtier looking."
"Of course he´s dyed it!" the mother cried. "It can´t change colour all by itself! What on earth were you trying to do, make yourself look handsome or something? You look like someone´s grandmother gone wrong!"


"School teachers suffer a good deal from having to listen to this sort of twaddle from proud parents, but they ussually get their own back when the time comes to write the end-of-term reports. If I were a teacher I would cook up some real scorchers for the children of doting parents. [...] A particularly posionous little girl might sting me into saying: 'Fiona has the same glacial beauty as an iceberg. But unlike the iceberg, she has absolutely nothing below the surface.' I think I might enjoy writing end-of-term reports for the stinkers in my class.


An epicure dining at crewe
Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Cried the waiter 'Don´t shout
And wave it about
Or the rest will be wanting one too

"You have put a... a... a crocodile in my drinking water!" the Trunchball yelled back. "There is no worse crime in the world against a headmistress!"

"You chose books and I chose looks", Mrs. Wormwood said. "And who´s finishing better off? Me, of course. I´m sitting pretty in a nice house with a sucessful businessman and you´re left slaving away teaching a lot of nasty little children the ABC:"
"Quite right, sugar-plum," Mr. Wormwood said, casting a look of such simpering sloppiness at his wife, it would have made a cat sick.


"We may be small, but we´re quite tough!"

"Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy, it´s unbelievable!"

"Spell what you idiot. Spell the word "what"!
"W...O...T." Eric siad, answering to quickly.
There was a nasty silence.
"You were wrong!" the trunchball barked. "In fact you strike me as the sort of poisonous little pockmark that will always be wrong! You sit wrong! You look wrong! You speak wrong! You are wrong all round!"

"You can rely on us", Lavender said, making her height of three feet two inches stretch as tall as possible.
"No, I can´t." Hortensia said."You´re only shrimps. But you never know. We may find a use for you one day in some undercover job."

Matilda decided that every time her father or her mother was beastly to her, she would get her own bak in one way or another. A small victory would help her to tolerate their idiocies and would stop her from going crazy. You must remeber, that she was still hardly five years old and it is not easy for somebody as small as that to score points at an all-powerful grown-up. Even though, she was determined to have a go.

Literarische Zuckerstückchen August

Seit Jahren schreibe ich mir immer dann, wenn ich irgendwo etwas schönes lese, das Zitat in mein Notizbuch. Sollte ich grad kein Notizbuch dabeihaben, kommt das Zitat auf eine Serviette, ein Kaugummipapier oder meine Hand. Hauptsache es kommt mit nach Hause. Ein paar meiner Lieblingszitate werde ich hier immer mal wieder als "literarische Zuckerstückchen" veröffentlichen. Viel Spaß damit!

"Ich bin so glüchlich, mein Bester, so ganz in dem Gefühle von ruhigem Dasein versunken, daß meine Kunst darunter leidet. Ich könnte jetzt nicht zeichnen, nicht einen Strich, und bin nie ein größerer Maler gewesen als in diesen Augenblicken."

Goethe´s Werther 

"Blood of my Blood," he whispered, "and bone of my bone. You carry me within ye, Claire, and ye canna leave me now, no matter what happens, You are mine, always, if ye will it or no, if ye want me or nay. Mine, and I wilna let ye go." 

Outlander - Diana Gabaldon

"Ein Hoch auf die Inkonsequenz, sie erhält uns geschmeidig."

  Am Hang - Markus Werner 

"Ich helfe das Verkehrte konsequent zu tun. Alles was gigantische Formen annimmt, kann imponieren; auch die Dummheit!" 

  Fabian-die Geschichte eines Moralisten - Erich Kästner 

"Was man nicht fühlen kann, muss man denken"

  Versuch über die Liebe - Alain de Botton 

Ich will mit dem gehen, den ich liebe.
Ich will nicht fragen, was es kostet.
Ich will nicht nachdenken, ob es gut ist.
Ich will nicht wissen, ob er mich liebt.
Ich will mit ihm gehen, den ich liebe. 

  Ich will mit dem gehen, den ich liebe - Bertold Brecht

"Man kann so schnell und wo weit rennen wie man will, man trifft sich immer selbst, egal wo man landet."

  Für immer vielleicht - Cecilia Ahern

"Wenn Du ein Schiff bauen willst, dann trommle nicht Männer zusammen um Holz zu beschaffen, Aufgaben zu vergeben und die Arbeit einzuteilen, sondern lehre die Männer die Sehnsucht nach dem weiten, endlosen Meer."

  Die Stadt in der Wüste - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Wann immer meine Freundin Susan einen schönen Ort erblickt, ruft sie geradezu panisch aus: "Wie schön es hier ist! Irgendwann muss ich noch mal hierher kommen." Und es erfordert all meine Überredungskünste, sie davon zu überzeugen, dass sie bereits da ist. 

  Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
