“Alles ging so schnell vorbei, nie wusste man sein Glück zu schätzen, immer erst hinterher. Altbekanntes Zeug. Das Leben war nicht besonders einfallsreich. Es brachte immer den gleichen Trick, und trotzdem fiel jeder drauf rein.”

“I discovered that I am not disciplined out of virtue but as a reaction to my negligence, that I am generous to conceal my meanness, that I pass myself off as prudent because I am evil-minded, that I am conciliatory in order not to succumb to my suppressed rage, that I am punctual only only to hide how little I care about other peoples time.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Memories of My Melancholy Whores
