Quote by Toon Tellegen

Ik riep: Doornroosje! Je bent ternauwernood meer van belang! Ternauwernood Nog net wel. Nog niet helemaal niet. Ik houd ternauwernood oneindig veel pijnlijk nauwgezet en desalniettemin niet voor herhaling vatbaar nog net wel van jou, zei ik.En niet lang daarna:Ik houd ternauwernood oneindig veel op zijn minst overdadig en onomkeerbaar pijnlijk nauwgezet bijna achteloos en desalniettemin niet voor herhaling vatbaar nog net wel van jou.Van wie? (riepen de denkbeeldige meeuwen) Van wie? Van wie?Van Doornroosje, zei ik, buiten adem.

Ik riep: Doornroosje! Je bent ternauwernood meer van belang!

Summary

This quote is a whimsical and imaginative expression that suggests the speaker's deep and contradictory feelings towards someone, using the metaphor of "Doornroosje" (Sleeping Beauty). The repetition of "ternauwernood" (barely) emphasizes the speaker's struggle to maintain their emotional connection, despite experiencing pain. The phrase "desalniettemin niet voor herhaling vatbaar nog net wel van jou" (nevertheless not repeatable but still just from you) indicates a paradoxical longing for this person's presence, with a sense of irony and wistfulness. The quote intriguingly captures the complex emotions and contrasting desires of the speaker.
