“Wir zwei, die alles gewollt hatten, die ganze Welt, die Milchstraße, das Universum, standen eingeschüchtert da und das Leben lag vor uns - hämisch grinsend, weil uns vor scheinbarer Grenzenlosigkeit die Knie schlotterten.”
― Maschenka Tobe, Wir waren die Kosmonauten

“In diesem Moment wurde Mathilda klar, dass nicht Staaten oder Herrscher einen Krieg gewannen, der wahre Sieger war immer nur der Tod.”
― Daniela Ohms, Winterhonig

“you look just like your mother

i guess i do carry her tenderness well

you both have the same eyes

cause we are both exhausted

and the hands

we share the same wilting fingers

but that rage your mother doesn't wear that rage

you're right
this rage is the one thing
i get from my father”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“I said
”I love you so much it’s killing me”
and you kept saying sorry
so I stopped explaining
for it never made sense to you
what always did to me
to let what you love
kill you
and never regret.

As Romeo is dying Juliet says
”I am willing to die to remain by your side”
and love was never a static place of rest
but the last second of euphoria
while throwing yourself out from a 20 store window
to be able to say
”I flew before I hit the ground”,
and it was glorious.

Don’t be sorry.
The fall was beautiful, dear.
The crash was beautiful.”
