Mascha Kaléko
“An mein Kind

Dir will ich meines Liebsten Augen geben
und seiner Seele flammenreines Glühn.
Ein Träumer wirst du sein und dennoch kühn
verschloßne Tore aus den Angeln heben.

Wirst ausziehn, das gelobte Glück zu schmieden.
Dein Weg ist frei. Denn aller Weisheit Schluß
bleibt doch zuletzt, daß jedermann hienieden
all seine Fehler selbst begehen muß.

Ich kann vor keinem Abgrund dich bewahren.
hoch in die Wolken hängte Gott den Kranz.
Nur eines nimm von dem, was ich erfahren:
Wer du auch seist, nur eines - sei es ganz!

Du bist, vergiß es nicht, von jenem Baume,
der ewig zweigte und nie Wurzel schlug.
Der Freheit Fackel leuchtet uns im Traume -
bewahr den Tropfen Öl im alten Krug!”
Mascha Kaléko

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“My own definition is a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

Olga Tokarczuk
“You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves... And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Jostein Gaarder
“It's not a silly question if you can't answer it.”
Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World
