“Books change us. Books save us. I know this because it happened to me.”
― Elif Shafak

“It’s a . . . transcendental act. Making life. . . . ‘By this act, I bring one death into the world.’ One birth, one death, and all the pain and acts of will between. . . . Our children change us . . . whether they live or not.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Barrayar

“I love my God. I thank my Allah. I talk to him all day. He is the greatest. By giving me this height to reach people, he has also given me great responsibilities. Peace in every home, every street, every village, every country – this is my dream. Education for every boy and every girl in the world. To sit down on a chair and read my books with all my friends at school is my right. To see each and every human being with a smile of happiness is my wish.”
― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

“Abschied

Du denkst deinen
strömenden Tag
schwimmst mühsam
durch das Stundenwasser
Die Nacht
denkt dich
von Stern zu Stern
Im Schlafwandelatem
du merkst nicht
dass du Abschied nimmst”
― Rose Ausländer
