“In Germany, it seems, time doesn’t heal wounds; it kills the sensation of pain.”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
“Sembra che in Germania il tempo non guarisca le ferite, ma uccida il dolore.”
Peter Schneider, Il Saltatore del Muro
“It will take us longer to tear down the Wall in our heads than any wrecking company will need for the Wall we can see.”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
“Apparently there isn't a profession in Berlin for which you can't get famous.”
Peter Schneider, Berlin Now: The City After the Wall
“Partecipai per la prima volta allo sconvolgimento, alla deformazione di sentimenti che questo confine provoca in una famiglia. Dai saluti iniziali fino al commiato: ogni gesto mi sembrò stranamente ingigantito, carico di speranze o taciti rimproveri, inibito dal rispetto per l’eventuale irripetibilità dell’avvenimento. Anche volendo, non sarebbe stato possibile rimanere fino al mattino seguente, lo Stato aveva fissato il bacio dell’addio per la mezzanotte: ogni precipitoso ‘a presto’ sarebbe stato cinismo.”
Peter Schneider, Il Saltatore del Muro
“In Berlin, it seems, in the end everything becomes either art and/or memorial”
Peter Schneider, Berlin Now: The City After the Wall
“Dove finisce uno Stato e dove inizia l'io?
Siamo di nuovo qualcuno. In questa frase disturba quel 'di nuovo'. Per diventare finalmente qualcuno, bisogna prima essere stati nessuno.”
Peter Schneider, Il Saltatore del Muro
“Sarà più difficile per noi abbattere il muro che abbiamo in testa che per una impresa demolitrice distruggere quello vero.”
Peter Schneider, Il Saltatore del Muro
“Interrogato sui motivi dei salti non veniva fuori che questo: «Quando nell'appartamento c'è troppo silenzio e fuori è grigio, nebbia e non succede niente, allora penso: dai, salta ancora una volta il muro!»”
Peter Schneider, Il Saltatore del Muro
“Apparently there isn't a professional in Berlin for which you can't get famous.”
Peter Schneider, Berlin Now: The City After the Wall
“Where does the state end and the self begin?”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
“Am Abend berichtet der Nachrichtensprecher des Fernsehens von einer UNO-Resolution, die den Einmarsch sowjetischer Truppen in Afghanistan al seine Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten dieses Landes verurteilt. Im Bild werden Kolonnen russischer Panzer gezeigt, die durch die Haupstadt rollen. Der Nachrichtensprecher weist darauf hin, daß diese Bilder seit Wochen nicht in den Ostmedien zu sehen sind.

Kurz danach wechsele ich das Programm. Wieder sitzt ein Nachrichtensprecher vor einer Weltkarte und verliest Nachrichten. Er trägt dieselbe Krawatte, denselben Sakko, hat dieselben Haarecken und spricht dieselbe Sprache wie der Sprecher im anderen Programm. Er zitiert einen Kommentar der Prawda, der die UNO-Resolution als Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten Afghanistans verurteilt. Im Bild sind amerikanische und chinesische Waffen zu sehen, die von afghanischen Soldaten erbeutet wurden. Der Sprecher weist darauf hin, daß diese Bilder in den Westmedien nicht gezeigt werden.

Wie ich den Fernseher abschalte, sehe ich für den Bruchteil einer Sekunde den Schatten des Kollegen vom Westprogramm; dann wird dis Mattscheibe grau.”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
“Techno was invented in Berlin”
Peter Schneider, Berlin Now: The City After the Wall
“Vielleicht hängt es tatsächlich mit diesen frühen Fahrten, diesem ständigen Unterwegssein zusammen, daß ich mich später immer, wenn ich unterwegs war, eher zuhause fühlte, als wenn ich irgendwo blieb und mich einzurichten versuchte.”
Peter Schneider, Lenz
“If the Germans still have a fatherland, it survives mostly in the mother tongue; and if it is true that land comes from our father and language from our mother, then our maternal heritage has proven the stronger”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
“It isn’t all that easy to answer the question of why, for some time now, Berlin has been one of the most popular cities in the world. It’s not on account of its beauty, for Berlin is not beautiful; Berlin is the Cinderella of European capitals. Gazing”
Peter Schneider, Berlin Now: The City After the Wall
“Spontaneity, personal initiative, free choice - these ideals of Western society are fairy tales invented for people who don't want to admit they know better.”
Peter Schneider, The Wall Jumper: A Berlin Story
