“I've given up listening to people. What can they tell me that is so much more to the point than what I've always known? All the mistakes in my life came from accepting advice.”

“Wenn du sprichst,
Wacht mein buntes Herz auf.
Alle Vögel üben sich
Auf deinen Lippen.
Immerblau streut deine Stimme
Über den Weg;
Wo du erzählst, wird Himmel.
Deine Worte sind aus Lied geformt,
Ich traure, wenn du schweigst.
Singen hängt überall an dir-
Wie du wohl träumen magst?”
― Die Gedichte 1902–1943
Wacht mein buntes Herz auf.
Alle Vögel üben sich
Auf deinen Lippen.
Immerblau streut deine Stimme
Über den Weg;
Wo du erzählst, wird Himmel.
Deine Worte sind aus Lied geformt,
Ich traure, wenn du schweigst.
Singen hängt überall an dir-
Wie du wohl träumen magst?”
― Die Gedichte 1902–1943
“A oči so vse na Julki. In vse klopi zadržujejo dih, da bi bile vse oči še bolj tesno pri njem. Kakor da bodo iz njih, iz oči, vsak hip zaplavale otroške dlani kot golobje peruti in privzdignile njeno telo in mu zamanjšale bolečine. Njene oči pa so žametno in vlažno mehke, ker se njena stopala ne dotikajo poda. Rožnat trak, ki povezuje kiti, pa čepi na kavlju kot metulj z razprtimi krili.”
