“So in the streets of Calcutta I sometimes imagine myself a foreigner, and only then do I discover how much is to be seen, which is lost so long as its full value in attention is not paid. It is the hunger to really see which drives people to travel to strange places.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, My Reminiscences

“Gut und Böse sind banale, substanzlose Begriffe, die die Wirklichkeit weit eher verschleiern, als dass sie diese erhellen. Dies allein wäre schon Grund genug, sie aufzugeben.

― Michael Schmidt-Salomon, Jenseits von Gut und Böse
