Anna Seghers Quote: “When you’re young and healthy you can recover quickly from a defeat. But betrayal is different – it paralyzes you.”

1. “When you’re young and healthy you can recover quickly from a defeat. But betrayal is different – it paralyzes you.”

2. “Not only can what others are suffering be a consolation while we are suffering, but even knowing what others suffered long ago can be consoling.”

— Anna Seghers

3. “For the first time back then, I thought about everything seriously. The past and the future, both equally unknowable, and also this ongoing situation that the consulates call “transitory” but that we know in everyday language as “the present.”

— Anna Seghers

4. “Even if they were to shoot me, they’d never be able to eradicate me. I feel I know this country, its work, its people, its hills and mountains, its peaches and its grapes too well. If you bleed to death on familiar soil, something of you will continue to grow like the sprouts that come up after bushes and trees have been cut down.”

— Anna Seghers

5. “Death was just as close, but not behind him; it was everywhere. It was inescapable; he felt death’s physical presence – as if death itself were something alive. Like in the old pictures, a creature that can hide behind a bed of asters or behind a baby carriage and can come out and touch you.”

— Anna Seghers
