Top 25 Ursula Hegi Quotes (2024 Update)

Ursula Hegi Quote: “That’s the nature of being a parent, Sabine has discovered. You’ll love your children far more than you ever loved your parents, and – in the recognition that your own children cannot fathom the depth of your love – you come to understand the tragic, unrequited love of your own parents.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “A perfectly happy marriage? There is no such thing. There are strong marriages that can survive problems, but happiness is such a brief condition, interrupted by difficulties and plain, boring routine.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “I don’t write for an audience. I write for myself. And if I imagine an audience at all, it’s the characters, but I know that I would keep writing even if no one ever published me again, even if no one ever read me again.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “Carefully, the girl skimmed her fingers across her mother’s knee. It was smooth; the skin had closed across the tiny wounds like the surface of the river after you toss stones into the waves. Only you knew they were there. Unless you told.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “Some acts of faith, I believe, have the power to grant us something infinitely wiser than we imagine.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “I like to keep myself wrapped in layers of sleep and wait for the geraniums.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “What the river was showing her now was that she could flow beyond the brokenness, redeem herself, and fuse once more.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “In language that’s lyrical and haunting, Cheryl Strayed writes about bliss and loss, about the kind of grace that startles and transforms us in ordinary moments.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “With the stories of people she’d known since her childhood it was like that: one incident in their lives might come to an ending, but others would lead into new veins, and what was fascinating was to look at the whole of it and discern a pattern, a way of being, that had shaped those passages.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “And yet, just because a story was a certain way didn’t mean it would always be like that: stories took their old shape with them and fused it with the new shape. She didn’t understand yet how all the tangles of their lives would sort themselves out in her story, but she supposed it would be like raking: not every bit of earth would be untangled at once.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “These are things,” Trudi’s father told her long before she was old enough for confession, “that the church calls sins, but they are part of being human. And those we need to embrace. The most important thing – ” He paused. “ – is to be kind.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “The risk her stories posed to others – and to herself – was more subtle. When she was younger, she had used secrets as if they were currency, but she’d found out how secrets could use her instead by becoming stronger than she. It happened whenever she couldn’t stay away from a secret – drawn to it the way Georg Weiler was drawn to the bottle – though she sensed it would be better for her not to know.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “She fought him by reminding herself what her father had said to Emil Hesping – that they lived in a country where believing had taken the place of knowing.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “It was the kind of silence that fills you with light and makes you believe you can do anything you want.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “And throughout all, Trudi wove the assurance... that – once someone had been in your life – you could keep that person there despite the agony of loss, as long as you had faith that you could bring the sum of all your hours together in one shining moment.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “We Germans have a history of sacrificing everything for one strong leader,” her father had said. “It’s our fear of chaos.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “And what she wanted more than anything that moment was for all the differences between people to matter no more – differences in size and race and belief...”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “If I look closely, I can almost see myself floating in my mother’s palm. Yet, when I shut my eyes, I find a different image of my mother releasing me as we dance in the storm and twirl in separate circles that cause the water to ripple from us in widening rings which merge in one ebbing bracelet of waves where the borders of the quarry meet the water, far from the center where my mother and I continue to spin our bodies in the radiant sheen of lightning.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “The absence of doubt will turn humans into beasts.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “But Seehund hurled his love at her, his entire body. It was a love she recognized – she’d felt it within herself but had never been able to demonstrate it with such abandon.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “Because of the people in history, Trudi felt a far stronger link than ever before to the people in her town, and from all this grew new stories, which she told to Eva and her father, and to Frau Abramowitz who listened to every word and sighed, “Trudi, you and your splendid imagination.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “He didn’t know how to speak properly, how to walk properly, how to comb his hair, and she felt embarrassed for him as he shouted about restoring jobs and national honor, about a better and splendid Germany. The mob applauded, shouted. Did people really believe that he wanted what was best for Germany?”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “The cats were still there, dozens of them, the color of the cliffs, dozing in the sand beneath the bushes, invisible until they stirred or darted away. Waves came in high and crashed down like shelves overcrowded with books-abrupt and massive.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “It was like that with many other events, and it took courage for the few, who would preserve the texture of the truth, not to let its fibers slip beneath the web of silence and collusion which people – often with the best of intentions – spun to sustain and protect one another.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “And what to embrace.”
Ursula Hegi Quote: “Many of them couldn’t fathom how Germany could have lost this war against the world, and they kept speculating about conspiracies and malicious forces that had brought about the shame of their defeat.”
