“Alle Bücher dieser Welt
Bringen dir kein Glück
Doch sie weisen dich geheim
In dich selbst zurück.

Dort ist alles was du brauchst
Sonne Stern und Mond
Denn das Licht danach du frugst
In dir selber wohnt

Weisheit die du lang gesucht
In den Bücherreihen
Leuchtet jetzt aus jedem Blatt
Denn nun ist sie dein.”
― Hermann Hesse

“Liking other people is an illusion we have to cherish in ourselves if we are to live in society.”
― John Fowles, The Magus

“Pooh felt that he ought to say something helpful about it, but didn't quite know what.
So he decided to do something helpful instead.”
― Alan Alexander Milne, Winnie the Pooh (illustrated edition): Children's Classics

“In fact no one recognizes the happiest moment of their lives as they are living it. It may well be that, in a moment of joy, one might sincerely believe that they are living that golden instant "now," even having lived such a moment before, but whatever they say, in one part of their hearts they still believe in the certainty of a happier moment to come. Because how could anyone, and particularly anyone who is still young, carry on with the belief that everything could only get worse: If a person is happy enough to think he has reached the happiest moment of his life, he will be hopeful enough to believe his future will be just as beautiful, more so.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence
