Walter Moers
“The written word is redundant on the high seas. Why? Because paper gets wet too easily.”
― Walter Moers, The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear

Walter Moers
“If flatness were funny, a dinner plate would be hilarious.”
― Walter Moers, Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures

Walter Moers
“Sometimes, in the course of my hopeless quest, I would pick up and dip into one of the ordinary books that lay strewn around the castle. Whenever I did, it seemed so insipid and insubstantial that I flew into a rage and hurled it at the wall after reading the first few sentences. I was spoilt for any other form of literature, and the mental torment I endured was comparable to the agony of unrequited love compounded by the withdrawal symptoms associated with a severe addiction.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

Walter Moers
“I will quote one sentence from this text, namely, the one with which it ended. It was also the sentence which finally dissolved the writer’s block that had inhibited the author from starting work. I have since used it whenever I myself have been gripped by fear of the blank sheet in front of me. It is infallible, and its effect is always the same: the knot unravels and a stream of words gushes out on to the virgin paper. It acts like a magic spell and I sometimes fancy it really is one. But, even if it isn’t the work of a sorcerer, it is certainly the most brilliant sentence any writer has ever devised. It runs: ‘This is where my story begins.’”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

Walter Moers
“There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written, that's all.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books
