„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

„Wenn es regnet freue ich mich,
denn wenn ich mich nicht freue
regnet es trotzdem.“

Allein sein zu müssen, ist schwer –
allein sein zu können, ist schön.

Rabindranath Tagore

Gandalf: “Viele, die leben, verdienen den Tod. Und manche, die sterben, verdienen das Leben. Kannst du es ihnen geben? Dann sei auch nicht so rasch mit einem Todesurteil bei der Hand.“

(Herr der Ringe)

„It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.“
