“When people tell you who they are, Maya Angelou famously advised, believe them. Just as importantly, however, when people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them. You are the only custodian of your own integrity, and the assumptions made by those that misunderstand who you are and what you stand for reveal a great deal about them and absolutely nothing about you.”

“I tell you these stories because these things happen to everyone. It's not about being starched or polished or cute or polite. It's about having ears that stick out, about breaking yet another glass. It's about seeing something for the first time and making a million mistakes and not ever getting completely discouraged.”

“Полет на духа, дет’ викаше бача ти Берона… Какъв полет бе, бай Бероне! Полет на духа грам не е останал в тях. То дух няма, че камо ли полет! Заровили са ся кат’ картофи в таз земя, пръст ядат, и умът им все в наденицата. Не щат душа, искат салам. Кат’ картофи заровени. Сякаш че не е человек, а картоф. Кат’ купиш един чувал картофи, кой знай какво ще намериш вътре. И кога пораснат на картофите крила, тогаз и те ще полетят, връз тях!”

“Moment mal", sagte Herr Lehmann. "Was soll das heißen, Lebensinhalt? Lebensinhalt ist doch ein total schwachsinniger Begriff. Was willst du damit sagen, Lebensinhalt? Was ist der Inhalt eines Lebens? Ist das Leben ein Glas oder eine Flasche oder ein Eimer, irgendein Behälter, in den man was hineinfüllt, etwas hineinfüllen muss sogar, denn irgendwie scheint sich ja die ganze Welt einig zu sein, dass man so etwas wie einen Lebensinhalt unbedingt braucht. Ist das Leben so? Nur ein Behältnis für was anderes? Ein Fass vielleicht? Oder eine Kotztüte?”
