"This life, which had been the tomb..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Away, you mouldy rogue, away!”

“But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot? Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.”

“Love laughs at locksmiths.”

“I stick my finger into existence.. it smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? What is this thing called the world? What does this word mean?”

“My life is absolutely meaningless. When I consider the different periods into which it falls, it seems like the word Schnur in the dictionary, which means in the first place a string, in the second, a daughter-in-law. The only thing lacking is that the word Schnur should mean in the third place a camel, in the fourth, a dust-brush.”

“For there is a growing apprehension that existence is a rat-race in a trap: living organisms, including people, are merely tubes which put things in at one end and let them out at the other, which which both keeps them doing it and in the long run wears them out. So to keep the farce going, the tubes find ways of making new tubes, which also put things in at one end and let them out at the other.”

“Don’t waste your life waiting until everything is perfect before you start enjoying it.”

“Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange, extravagant and broken the monotony.”

“Going forward seems like retreat.”
