“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”
Joker - Batman: The Killing Joke/ by Alan Moore

Hercule Poirot: "I believe it takes a fracture of the soul to murder another human being."

Hercule Poirot: "My Dear Colonel Armstrong. Finally, I can answer your letter, at least with the thoughts in my head and the feeling in my heart that somewhere you can hear me. I have now discovered the truth of the case and it is profoundly disturbing. I have seen the fracture of the human soul. So many broken lives, so much pain and anger giving way to the poison of deep grief until one crime became many. I have always wanted to believe that man is rational and civilised. My very existence depends upon this hope, upon order and methods and the little grey cells, but now perhaps I am asked to listen instead to my heart. [...] I have understood in this case that the scales of justice cannot always be evenly weighed and I must learn for once to live with the imbalance. There are no killers here, only people who deserve a chance to heal. [...] You are all free to go. May you find your peace with this. May we all."

"Maybe that’s why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for . . . and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you."

"The kid in you just leaked out, like the air out of a tire. And one day you looked in the mirror and there was a grownup looking back at you."

“What can be done when you’re eleven can often never be done again.”

"Ja, wir könnten jetzt  was gegen den Klimawandel tun, aber wenn wir dann in fünfzig Jahren feststellen würden, dass sich alle Wissenschaftler doch vertan haben und es gar keine Klimaerwärmung gibt, dann hätten wir völlig ohne Grund dafür gesorgt, dass man selbst in den Städten die Luft wieder atmen kann, dass die Flüsse nicht mehr giftig sind, dass Autos weder Krach machen noch stinken und dass wir nicht mehr abhängig sind von Diktatoren und deren Ölvorkommen. Da würden wir uns schön ärgern."

"In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers."

„Ich glaube, es ist eine traurige Wahrheit, dass wir unserem Affenzustand noch recht nahe sind. Und dass die Zivilisation nur eine sehr dünne Decke ist, die sehr schnell abblättert.“
Fritz Bauer, deutscher Jurist und Generalstaatsanwalt (1903 - 1968)


"We are all different, there is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.  What is important is that we have the ability to create. This creativity can take many forms, from physical achievement to theoretical physics.  However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at."
Stephen William Hawking (1942 - 2018)

Ich schreibe alle begonnenen Geschichten zu Ende - wenn ein "Abgebrochen"-Zeichen dort steht, dann hat das mit wenig Zeit, unregelmäßiger Muse oder meiner unsteten Gesundheit zu tun, aber das Ziel behalte ich vor Augen.
