Jonathan Tropper słynne cytaty

„Nie lubię ideałów – są plastikowe, zimne i niewzruszone. Prawdziwe piękno wymaga uziemienia i na tym polega rola drobnych niedoskonałości. Zapewniają kontekst, punkt odniesienia. Blizna jest jak haczyk, jak uszkodzone jądro nerwu, z którego wszystko bierze początek.”

Jak rozmawiać z wdowcem

„Nie spodziewam się niczego wielkiego. Nie będzie płomiennej przemowy, nie wpadniemy sobie w ramiona, nie nastąpi długi, namiętny pocałunek w tłumie wiwatujących ludzi. Ale może, jeśli mnie zobaczy to przypomni sobie, że między nami zaczęło się coś prostego i prawdziwego. Może coś sprawi, że ziemia pod nami lekko drgnie. Na tym etapie życia nie szukam happy endu. Szukam szczęśliwego początku.”

„Czasem się zastanawiam, czy to ciebie tak czuję, czy tylko pustkę po tobie.”

„Tylko dlatego, że coś się wydarzy, nie oznacza, że jestem gotów dziś stawić temu czoła. Czasem jedyna prawda, jakiej ludzie potrafią sprostać, to ta, z którą obudzili się tego ranka.”

„Czasem facet idzie ulicą i dostrzega ładną dziewczynę, w której podoba mu się coś więcej niż twarz. Dziewczyna ma w sobie coś ciepłego, mądrego, zmysłowego i zachęcającego. I choć facet ma tylko trzy sekundy, żeby się jej przyjrzeć, to i tak z miejsca się zakochuje. Te trzy sekundy wystarczają mu, żeby wiedzieć jak będzie smakował jej pocałunek, jaka będzie w dotyku jej skóra, jak będzie się śmiała, patrzyła na niego i dawała mu poczucie spełnienia.”

„Jesteśmy zaborczy wobec swojego żalu, niemal z niego dumni. chcemy wierzyć, że nasz żal jest wyjątkowy. Ale tak nie jest. To taki sam ból jak każdy inny. Ból jest jak rekin – od początku istnienia nie musiał ewoluować. Bo osiągnął doskonałą postać.”

yourself without thinking about it.”
