Paul Theroux Zitate

I was kind of raised with the suggestion that I had a duty to do; that life was real, life was earnest. And I hated that, actually. I needed to be liberated, to be told that I could live the life that I wanted to live; that I didn't need a job, or to be shouted at; that I could be myself; that I could be happy.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich war irgendwie mit dem Vorschlag aufgewachsen, dass ich eine Pflicht habe; das Leben war wirklich, das Leben war ernst. Und ich hasste das eigentlich. Ich musste befreit werden, um mir zu sagen, dass ich das Leben leben könnte, das ich leben wollte; dass ich keinen Job brauchte oder angeschrien wurde; dass ich ich selbst sein könnte; dass ich glücklich sein könnte.

Family, work, familiarity. Listen, if I had a magic wand and I could make myself really be happy, I'd zap me onto a farm. And I know nothing about farming.

There's the typical books, Moby Dick and, I guess in my adult life I began to read biographies more than fiction. I started to want to relate to other people's lives, things that had really happened.

I guess he wanted to see a little more sexual activity because in real life, in bed I think less is more and let the woman come to me. Frankly, I don't even need a woman there.

I have this thing I say to myself that 'tomorrow can be better.' And I remember that period in my life where I never felt like tomorrow could be better. It was always dread for the next day.
