“Morgana hat viel erlebt, und durch die Jahrtausende weise geworden, blieb es doch im Herzen ein Kind. Es ist bis heute noch kindlich genug, Neuem gegenüber Verwunderung zu empfinden. Und wer im Herzen ein Kind bleibt, wird vom Leben mit Wundern belohnt.”
― Rafik Schami, Der ehrliche Lügner

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs
