Quotes by Christoph Ransmayr (?)

“Ali on se nije dao zbuniti,
već je svaki od mojih krikova
preuzimao kao nov motiv u svom napevu
i ponavljao ga sve dok se nije sasvim prilagodio
monotonoj melodiji njegovih pesama,
i tako me je uljuljkivao u besvest, u san.”
― Christoph Ransmayr

“Soviel ich weiß, enden viele Abstiege tödlich, weil die Aufsteiger vergessen, daß der Weg zurück ins Vertraute manchmal größere Leidensfähigkeit und die Aufbietung größerer Kräfte verlangt als die Route hinauf in den Traum.”
― Christoph Ransmayr, Bericht am Feuer. Gespräche, E-Mails und Telefonate zum Werk von Christoph Ransmayr

“إنّ تسمية المحيط المسالِم أو الهادئ منذ عبورِه أوّل مرّةٍ من قِبَل بحّارة أوربّيين لم تكن أكثر من صفةٍ لأملٍ يائس”
― Christoph Ransmayr, Atlas eines ängstlichen Mannes
