Quotes by Markus Werner (?)

“Hat das Virus - welches auch immer - erst einmal alle befallen, darf man es nicht mehr Virus nennen. Am Anfang ja, am Anfang hat man jede Menge von Verbündeten. Je mehr der Strom aber anschwillt, je selbstverständlicher, je närrischer, je diktatorischer er sich gebärdet, um so mehr fallen um und hinein, und ich stehe belämmert am Ufer, und das letzte, was sie mir zubrüllen, im Chor, sind die Worte: »Nur wer sich ändert, bleibt sich treu!«, und unsereins steht als verkalkter Sack am Ufer.”
― Markus Werner, Am Hang

“Заглежда се в рафта с книгите. Вие всезнайковци такива, доставчици на житейски мъдрости, наконтени специалисти по фантасмагории. Ето ви всичките, обединени от тесногръдата вяра, че с думи се проправя път. Колко време само залагах на вас, колко време ви пусках да гнездите в кухината на моята неопитност. Край на тия неща. Радикално отхвърлям господата на ума, които ми даваха наготово дешифриран света. Превърнахте ме в хамстер на цитати. На вашата словоохотливост дължа несгодите си. Искам чувството, не предчувстваното, делото, не книгата. С настоящото до второ нареждане обявявам нефилтрираната действителност за моя пътеводна звезда, най-сериозно говоря. Установено е и може да се докаже, че умът – колкото и да му симпатизираме – умът потиска жизнерадостта.”
― Markus Werner, Zündels Abgang
