Text Quotes
For anyone to understand a regime like the GDR, the stories of ordinary people must be told. Not just the activists or the famous writers. You have to look at how normal people manage with such things in their pasts  (Anna Funder Quotes) We don’t catch hold of an idea, rather the idea catches hold of us and enslaves us and whips us into the arena so that we, forced to be gladiators, fight for it.  (Anna Funder Quotes) The cynic sees only cynicism, the depressive can taint creation with one glance  (Anna Funder Quotes) I had very good eyes once. Though it’s another thing to say what I saw. In my experience, it is entirely possible to watch something happen and not to see it at all  (Anna Funder Quotes) At the end of our lives it is our loves we remember most, because they are what shaped us. We have grown to be who we are around them, as around a stake  (Anna Funder Quotes) I like trains. I like their rhythm, and I like the freedom of being suspended between two places, all anxieties of purpose taken care of: for this moment I know where I am going  (Anna Funder Quotes) The human brain cannot encompass total absence. Like infinity, it is simply not something that the organ runs to. The space someone leaves must be filled, so we dream forever of those who are no longer here. Our minds make them live again  (Anna Funder Quotes) One does not remember one’s own pain. It is the suffering of others that undoes us  (Anna Funder Quotes) Betrayal clearly has its own reward: the small deep human satisfaction of having one up on someone else. It is the psychology of the mistress, and this regime used it as fuel  (Anna Funder Quotes) We don’t catch hold of an idea, rather the idea catches hold of us and enslaves us and whips us into the arena so that we, forced to be gladiators, fight for it  (Anna Funder Quotes) Memory, like so much else, is unreliable. Not only for what it hides and what it alters, but also for what it reveals  (Anna Funder Quotes) I wonder, now, about interrogation chambers: why do they think bright light brings the truth out of people? They should try the seduction of shadows, where you cannot watch your words hit their target  (Anna Funder Quotes)
