“The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity,
the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.”

– Eckhart Tolle

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)

Frodo: “Ich wünschte, ich hätte den Ring nie bekommen. Ich wünschte, all das wäre nie passiert.“
Gandalf: “Das tun alle, die solche Zeiten erleben. Aber es liegt nicht in ihrer Macht, das zu entscheiden. Du musst nur entscheiden, was du mit der Zeit anfangen willst, die dir gegeben ist.“

(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.“

„It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future.“

(Dune – Frank Herbert)
