Quotes by Hans Erich Nossack (?)

“Why go on? I mean, why record all this? Wouldn’t it be better to surrender it to oblivion for all time? For those who were there certainly don’t have to read it. And the others, and those who will come later? What if they read it only to enjoy something strange and uncanny and to make themselves feel more alive? Does it take an apocalypse to do that? Or a descent into the underworld?”
― Hans Erich Nossack, The End: Hamburg 1943

“Some will come and say: That’s how it always is, and this is what it means to be male: we have to destroy in order to create. But what if the earth were to say: I gave birth to you because I longed to be more than earth. Where now is your deed?”
― Hans Erich Nossack, The End: Hamburg 1943

“Weißt du, warum man so auf seinen Schlaf erpicht ist? Nur um ein paar Tage länger jung auszusehen? Ach, und wenn dann der Schlaf kommt und man träumt, dann ist man uralt, und kein Engel ist da; man liegt da wie ein Stück Holz im Moor, ewig, und kann nicht sterben. Und das alles zur Strafe, weil man ein einziges Mal wach gewesen ist, als der Engel da saß und man dachte: Nun brauche ich nie mehr zu schlafen.”
― Hans Erich Nossack, Der jüngere Bruder
