Quotes by Emine Sevgi Özdamar (?)

“Ich bin unglücklich in meiner Sprache. Wir sagen seit Jahren nur solche Sätze wie: Sie werden sie aufhängen. Wo waren die Köpfe? Man weiß nicht, wo ihr Grab ist. Die Polizei hat die Leiche nicht freigegeben! Die Wörter sind krank. Meine Wörter brauchen ein Sanatorium, wie kranke Muscheln. Es gibt eine Stelle am Ägäischen Meer, wo drei Ströme zusammenkommen. Man bringt Säcke mit Muscheln aus Istanbul, Izmir, Italien dorthin, die im schmutzigen Wasser krank geworden sind. Das saubere Wasser aus den drei Strömen heilt ein paar Monaten die erkrankten Muscheln. Dieses Stück Meer nenne die Fischer Muschelsanatorium. Wie lange braucht ein Wort, um wieder gesund zu werden? Man sagt, in fremden Ländern verliert man die Muttersprache. Kann man nicht auch in seinem eigenen Land die Muttersprache verlieren?”

“Hamlet ist besoffen und kriegt seine gespielten Orgasmen, Ophelia sagt zu ihm: "Hamlet, tue nicht so - gib dir nicht Mühe, ich weiß, du willst gerade an dein Morgen, wo du dir dein Begräbnis vorstellst, denken - aber du denkst, daß du bei der Sparkasse vorbeigehen sollst und vom Delikatessenladen den Espresso-Cafe holen sollst, weil du denkst - warum nicht, wenn ich es mir leisten kann, dann willst du mit deiner Mama telephonieren, weil sie jemand kennt, der die Adresse weiß von einer Dreizimmerwohnung, und du willst deinen Lieblingskäse holen, bevor du mit deiner Mutter telephonierst.”
