Manfred Spitzer
“Befriedigende Erlebnisse hat man vor allem mit anderen Menschen und draußen in der Natur.”
Manfred Spitzer, Einsamkeit. Die unerkannte Krankheit

“We suddenly arrived in this very lost and strange city. Somewhere in the middle of the mountains. We didn't know where we are. We were just heading back to the sea.
When we walked trough the forgotten city in silence, something inside us changed. We lost a bit of ourselves too and gained space for something new.”
Nina Hrusa
