"Ich komme mit Howard Roark als Hauptfigur sehr klar - der große Unterschied zu Atlas Shrugged liegt auch darin, dass er sich selbst hocharbeitet, selbst sich durchsetzt, ohne bereits auf den Schultern von Riesen zu stehen. Ganz im Gegenteil zu Dominique Francon oder Dagny Taggart. Die Aufsteiger-Geschichten haben stets was von Rocky. Teilweise ist es mir viel zu viel Dialog." Mar 18, 2026 09:28AM

"Wirklich mitreißende Stellen wechseln sich mit zähen ab. So richtig ein Tempo nimmt der Text nicht auf. Es plätschert virtuos vor sich hin - Nasos hin und her, ein paar Figuren tauchen auf, aber alles umrankt, verwittert, zersetzt sich ohnehin, Erdbeben rumoren, ... worum es geht - spielt wahrscheinlich keine Rolle, aber stellenweise langweile ich mich ein bisschen."

Gabrielle Zevin
“She had, he thought, one of the world’s great laughs. The kind of laugh where a person didn’t feel that he was being laughed at. The kind of laugh that was an invitation: I cordially invite you to join in this matter that I find amusing.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Émile Zola
“We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content”
Émile Zola

Vilfredo Pareto
“People reasoning on essences may sometimes substitute certitude for probability, even very great probability. But we know nothing about essences and accordingly lose our certitude.”
Vilfredo Pareto, The mind and society

Plato
“But he who, having no touch of the Muses' madness in his soul, comes to the door and thinks that he will get into the temple by the help of art—he, I say, and his poetry are not admitted; the sane man disappears and is nowhere when he enters into rivalry with the madman.”
Plato, Phaedrus

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Existentialism is not so much an atheism in the sense that it would exhaust itself attempting to demonstrate the nonexistence of God; rather, it affirms that even if God were to exist, it would make no difference—that is our point of view. It is not that we believe that God exists, but we think that the real problem is not one of his existence; what man needs is to rediscover himself and to comprehend that nothing can save him from himself, not even valid proof of the existence of God. In this sense, existentialism is optimistic. It is a doctrine of action, and it is only in bad faith—in confusing their own despair with ours—that Christians are able to assert that we are “without hope.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism
