“Live every moment—no matter where you are and what you're doing—as if it were truly important... you must strive to be in a good place—a place of purpose and integrity... Life is short under any circumstance and in some cases it can be plucked away at a moment's notice.”
David Elliot Cohen, One Year Off: Leaving It All Behind for a Round-the-World Journey with Our Children

Christian Kracht
“Also zahle ich dem Taxifahrer seinen Fahrpreis und gebe ihm noch ein dickes Trinkgeld, damit er in Zukunft weiß, wer der Feind ist.”
Christian Kracht, Faserland

Robert  Frank
“When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice.”
Robert Frank

Ansel Adams
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
Ansel Adams

Mia Couto
“But in the end, there will still be a morning like this one, full of new light, and a distant voice will be heard, like a memory of before we became people. And the tones of a song will well up, the gentle lull of the first mother. This song, yes indeed, will be ours, the memory of a deep root that they were unable to wrench out of us. This voice will give us the strength for a new beginning, and upon hearing it, the corpses will find peace in their graves and the survivors will embrace life with the simple joy of young lovers. All this will happen if we are able to rid ourselves of this time that has made animals out of us. Let us strive to die like the people we no longer are.”
Mia Couto
