My mother always spoke of a flowering period of each and every human being in which his or her true beauty comes to light -- from the inside and the outside.
I didn't have it in the past.
I look at old photographs and think: Darling, that hasn't been you. That has been you on the way to your own self, but still lightyears away.
Meanwhile, I am more myself than I could have been in the past.

I travelled a thousand seas
yet I haven't found a soul as golden
as yours

together we can shed light upon
a thousand worlds.

Wanting to change a person
who doesn't want to change himself
is like cosmetic surgery
on cancer patients.

A relationship doesn't mean
being as free as before
it means to dedicate yourself
to become a part of a greater whole

it means experience:
to recognize your own self within the other one

it means completion:
to feel another, more complete kind
of freedom.

Those who do not know emotional baggage also do not know about the tribulations of the world.
But those who do not learn to cope with its burdens also forget about its beauty.

The last words have been spoken
hanging over my head -- the sword of Damocles
since the beginning of time

I will keep on weeping
over thoughts and over you
wandering about all of my rooms

your absence is all around me
and the silence is more frightening
then any sound has been before

too much is truth in those words:
that wonders are falsehood
and the days are gone, never to return.

Not is not a place
I want to travel to.

Die Blinden denken
sie sähen das meiste.

Sometimes the silence
makes an overwhelming noise.

You're not old until you don't try something new.

The only valuable acknowledgement is the acknowledgement you grant yourself.

Courage is the key to open every door.

My darling girl --

if only you knew
which wondrous turns
life has in store for you.

We are the transformed
we are the awoken
we lay your visions of a concrete world
in ashes
we build a new, a living world
away from death and decay.

It's amusing that you sometimes need a stranger to help you to become yourself again.

If you're having a bad day
dress as if it might become your best.

Nothing is impossible
except for the things we do not do.

Life is the never-ending story of searching for beauty.

Life is our childhood, and death is the beginning of our immortality.

There's always room for change.
