John Irving najznámejšie citáty

„Ľudská pamäť je príšera; človek zabúda - pamäť nikdy. Všetky spomienky ukladá. Niektoré veci pre nás odkladá, iné pred nami ukrýva - po čase ich vyvoláva do nášho vedomia úplne podľa vlastnej vôle. Človek si myslí, že má pamäť, ale ona má jeho!“

John Irving

„„Ľudia sa pýtajú len vtedy, keď sú pripravení vypočuť si odpovede.““

John Irving

„Dajte si pozor na ľudí, ktorí sa nazývajú pobožnými; uistite sa, že viete, čo tým myslia - uistite sa, že vedia, čo myslia!“

John Irving

John Irving: Citáty v angličtine

“Sigmund Freud was a novelist with a scientific background. He just didn’t know he was a novelist. All those damn psychiatrists after him, they didn’t know he was a novelist either.”

Interview in Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews (1988)

“Ted Seabrooke, my wrestling coach, had a kind of Nietzschean effect on me in terms of not just his estimation of my limited abilities, but his decidedly philosophical stance about how to conduct your life, what you should do to compensate for your limitations. This was essential to me, both as a student—and not a good one—and as a wrestler who was not a natural athlete but who had found something he loved.”

"John Irving Interviewed by Suzanne Herel." Mother Jones magazine, May/June 1997.

“I write repeatedly—against my will—of those things I fear most happening. Losing a loved one, losing a parent, losing a child. I'm in terror of losing a child. It's never happened to me, but I am clearly compelled to write about it over and over again, and in a way I think, psychologically at least, this says more about me autobiographically as a novelist than the fact that Danny Angel goes to the Iowa Writers Workshop and has Kurt Vonnegut as a teacher, which I also did.”

“(In reference to Vermont's Act 60): This is Marxism. It's leveling everything by decimating what works … It's that vindictive 'We've suffered, and now we're going to take money from your kid and watch you squirm'… There's a minority which is an open target in this country which no one protects, and that's rich people.”

Interview in Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews (1988)

“But we are not known for our ability to follow through on our unearned discoveries. We are top-of-the-water adventurers, who limit our opinions of the icebergs to what we can see.”
