Answer Quotes

“You’re so good at finding paradoxes, and once you’ve fished one out from your bag of easy notions you think you’ve got your answer. But a paradox is never an answer, it’s just a fractured truth, a wisp of meaning without legs.”
― André Aciman, Find Me

“Holden... One short, faintly stuffy, pedagogical question. Don't you think there's a time and place for everything? Don't you think if someone starts out to tell you about his father's farm, he should stick to his guns, then get around to telling you about his uncle's brace? Or, if his uncle's brace is such a provocative subject, shouldn't he have selected it in the first place as his subject—not the farm?'
I didn't feel much like thinking and answering and all. I had a headache and I felt lousy. I even had sort of a stomach-ache, if you want to know the truth.
'Yes—I don't know. I guess he should. I mean I guess he should've picked his uncle as a subject, instead of the farm, if that interested him most. But what I mean is, lots of time you don't know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn't interest you most. I mean you can't help it sometimes. What I think is, you're supposed to leave somebody alone if he's at least being interesting and he's getting all excited about something. I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice. You just didn't know this teacher, Mr. Vinson. He could drive you crazy sometimes, him and the goddam class. I mean he'd keep telling you to unify and simplify all the time. Some things you just can't do that to. I mean you can't hardly ever simplify and unify something just because somebody wants you to.”
― J.D. Salinger

Out here, maybe somebody goes to jail. Maybe somebody doesn't. But we never know the truth. The real, whole, definite truth. It's impossible.”
― Graham Moore, The Holdout

“Една приятелка изпитваше дълбок страх от поглед на кукли. Изпадаше в истински ступор, срещнеше ли оцъклените им очи. Ама те наистина гледаха страшно, някогашните кукли. Оказа се, че този страх е описан и си има име, нарича се гленофобия.
Моят страх е дори по-ужасен, защото заплашителното може да е навсякъде. В никоя номенклатура на фобиите не съм го срещал и затова надлежно прилагам описанието му тук. Нека това бъде малкият ми научен принос към безкрайния Списък на страховете.
Имам фобия от един въпрос. Кошмарен въпрос, който може буквално да изскочи иззад ъгъла, скрит в беззъбата уста на съседката или изломотен от продавача на вестници. Всяко позвъняване на телефона е заредено с този въпрос. Да, най-често се крие в телефонните слушалки: Как си?
Спрях да излизам, не вдигах телефона, сменях местата, от които пазарувам, за да не завързвам тривиалните познанства на всекидневието. Блъсках си главата над това да изковавам защитни отговори. Нуждаех се от един нов щит на Ахил срещу глупостта. Как да се намери такъв отговор, който да не умножава бездарието, да не зацикля в клишето. Отговор, който да не те кара да ползваш готови фрази, отговор, който не лъже, но и не разкрива неща, които не искаш да разкриеш. Отговор, който да не предполага завързването на дълъг и безсмислен разговор. Коя фалшива традиция на етикета го е подготвяла, как се е шмугвал през вековете този лицемерен въпрос. „Как си?“, това е въпросът. That is the question. (Възвишеното „Да бъдеш или не“ се е сменило с това нищожно питане, ето ти доказателство за падение.)
Как си?
Как си?
Как си?
Как се отговаря на такова питане?
Виж, англичаните са се изхитрили, като са го превърнали в поздрав. Обезкостили са го, отнели са му питащото жило.„Как си“ е обелката на банана, поставена с цялата любезност под крака ти, сиренцето, което те примамва към капана на клишето.
Как си — слабата омаломощаваща отрова на всекидневието. Няма открит отговор на този въпрос. Няма. Знам възможните отговори, но се гнуся от тях, разбирате ли, гнуся се… Не искам да съм толкова предвидим, да отвръщам „благодаря, добре“ или „горе-долу, щом сме живи“, или „а бе оправяме се още“, или…Не знам как съм. Не мога да бъда категоричен. За да ви отговоря подобаващо, трябва да прекарам нощи, месеци, години, да изчета вавилонски кули от книги, да пиша, да пиша… Отговорът е цял роман. Как съм?
Не съм. Точка.
Нека това бъде първият ред. И оттук нататък да започне истинският отговор.”
― Georgi Gospodinov

“Don’t become obsessed with the possibilities of infinity. There’s nothing out there that’s new or alien. We have it all on our own doorstep. In fact we have it all within ourselves. We are made of stardust and we are a microcosm of the macrocosm. As above, so below. The answers to everything lie within ourselves. Look inwards, not outwards. YOU are the answer to your questions if you did but know it.”
― Mike Hockney, The God Factory

“I don’t want people’s beliefs and opinions about God. I want true knowledge of the true God. We all want the real thing though, don’t we? Deep down, we all crave the Absolute Truth, not just some nice, liberal idea that we think might make the world a better place. I don’t want to talk to my own unconscious, or my own subjective beliefs, then call it “God” … because it makes me feel good. I want to actually talk to God. I want the answers to all the big questions. I want to know what it’s really all about. What am I supposed to do with my life? How am I supposed to live? What’s the right thing to do? What’s the meaning of life? What’s the purpose of each and every one of us? What are the big explanations for everything? Is there a way to get all the way through to God, the true God?”
― Spiro Hamilton, The Vampire Path to God!: My Desperate Plan to Contact God
