Michael Cunningham frasi celebri

“Aspettavamo, senza particolare urgenza, di vedere se qualcuno ci avrebbe chiesto un altro tipo d’amore, quello più terrificante e travolgente.”

Michael Cunningham

“Portami con te. Voglio un amore destinato a fallire. Voglio strade di notte, vento e pioggia e nessuno che mi chieda dove sono.”

Michael Cunningham

da Le ore

“Non è un fallimento, si dice. Non è un fallimento essere in queste stanze, nella tua pelle, a tagliare i gambi dei fiori. Non è un fallimento, ma ti chiede qualcosa: ti chiede uno sforzo; semplicemente essere, ed essere grata; essere felice (terribile parola).”

Michael Cunningham libro Le ore

The Hours

“Mi guardò, e io lo vidi. Vidi ogni cosa: il suo desiderio per gli uomini, il suo senso di colpa e la sua delusione, la sua rabbia. Vidi che per certi aspetti quella rabbia era la rabbia di una donna. Aveva come una donna il senso del tradimento. Credeva di essere stato spinto ingiustamente ai margini, di essere stato amato dalle persone sbagliate e per le ragioni sbagliate. Per un attimo ebbi paura di lui. Paura di mio figlio, lì in quel luogo selvaggio, lontano da ogni altro essere umano. Ci eravamo protetti col silenzio perché la sola alternativa era di azzannarci, di graffiarci e morderci e urlare. Ci vergognavamo troppo, noi due, per una rabbia normale.”

“A celestial light appeared to Barrett Meeks in the sky over Central Park, four days after Barrett had been mauled, once again, by love.
