Gustave Flaubert
“Just when the gods had ceased to be, and the Christ had not yet come, there was a unique moment in history, between Cicero and Marcus Aurelius, when man stood alone.”
Gustave Flaubert, The Letters, 1830-1880

Erich Kästner
“Was auch immer geschieht: Nie dürft Ihr so tief sinken,
von dem Kakao, durch den man Euch zieht, auch noch zu trinken!”
Erich Kästner

Umberto Eco
“National identity is the last bastion of the dispossessed. But the meaning of identity is now based on hatred, on hatred for those who are not the same.”
Umberto Eco, The Prague Cemetery

Gustave Flaubert
“Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live.”
Gustave Flaubert

Thomas Mann
“Es ist sicher gut, dass die Welt nur das schöne Werk, nicht auch seine Ursprünge, nicht seine Enstehungsbedingungen kennt; denn die Kenntnis der Quellen, aus denen dem Künstler Eingebung floss, würde sie oftmals verwirren, abschrecken und so die Wirkungen des Vortrefflichen aufheben.”
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
