“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

“Surely the greatest mercy granted us by Providence is our ignorance of the future. Imagine if we knew the outcome of our hopes and plans, or could see the manner in which we are doomed to die - how ruined our lives would be! Instead we live on dumbly from day to day as happily as animals. But all things must come to dust eventually. No human being, no system, no age is impervious to this law; everything beneath the stars will perish; the hardest rock will be worn away. Nothing endures but words.”
― Robert Harris, Lustrum
