Famous Dahi Tamara Koch Quotes

“My mother always spoke of a “flowering period” of each and every human being in which his or her true beauty comes to light – from the inside and the outside. I didn't have it in the past. I look at old photographs and think: “Darling, that hasn't been you. That has been you on the way to your own self, but still lightyears away.” Meanwhile, I am more myself than I could have been in the past.”

“The end of an era marks the beginning of a new. Consider challenges as chances. To grow. To build. To live. For the better. To create something great, you wouldn't have imagined in advance. There are no such things as bad experiences. There are only possibilities to learn. Take risks. Throw away the doubts. You're young. Your whole life, it's all ahead of you, even though you like to let yourself be told otherwise, preferably from yourself. All the months of May you've already lived are nothing compared to how you're perceived or to how you feel. You're young. You're allowed to make mistakes: so be brave and make mistakes! Cast away your doubts and take the chances that spin around your head like satellites even though you like to tell yourself otherwise.”

“The people here are different. They walk differently. Talk differently. They are more considerable. In the sequence of their steps, their countenances, their gestures, their words. The people, the mood, and life itself ... walks at a slower pace. But not the sea – it's rough, vivacious, tempestuous as it has always been. Just like me, in the depths of my soul. We are the living contradiction, the commotion, in a sea full of truth.”

“Tragt eure Kriege nicht auch ins Private – es gibt bereits genug von ihnen. Entfernt euch nicht von denen, die sich auf euch zubewegen. Liebt einander. Liebt euch selbst und schätzt euren Körper als das, was er ist: ein Wunderwerk der Natur und ein Schatz, da er eurem Leben Raum verleiht. Seid freundlich zu denen, die ihr noch nicht kennt. Haltet Kontakt mit euren Freunden und sagt ihnen, was ihr an ihnen liebt.”

“Und nach all den Monaten und Monaten des Wartens, nach all der Sehnsucht und all den Telefonaten, den Videochats und den über Messengerdienste verschickten virtuellen Liebesbekundungen und Treueschwüren, berührte sie seine Handflächen mit den ihren und sagte: „Begreifst du jetzt, dass Rom nicht an einem einzigen Tag gebaut wurde, aber dich dennoch alle Wege dorthin führen?”

“Ich denke an Abschiede und letzte, allerletzte und allerallerletzte Küsse und Umarmungen an Flughäfen, das letzte, das allerletzte und das allerallerletzte Winken, bevor man in einer Traube aus Menschen am Security Checkpoint verschwindet. An Nachrichten voller Sehnsucht am Check-In, an Hoffnungen und Irrungen, Wirrungen und Einbildungen, Tränen, wenn man das Flugzeug betritt, an die Liebe in der Ferne und an die Freude des Wiedersehens und den Schmerz, wenn das Herz realisiert, dass es ein Abschied für immer war.”

“Sometimes the path that leads to finding your very own self leads across the heart of another person. And when the time has come, you have to let him go, because some people are your preterite. Don't indulge yourself in reminiscences of the past. There's always a reason why things happen the way they do. And if something old is dying, something new will be born. The present is the only thing that matters. It's the only thing that really exists. The past shouldn't be a part of it. It belongs to us, as all the things that we have experienced, suffered, learned, but it should never affect our present. The only thing we can form is what is present. And this present is the most valuable property we own. And we must make use of this present. We must cherish it. And I fill my present with dreams of fairytale castles and walks in the sun that is getting warmer on every new day. I fill it with dreams of glances onto the lavish splendour of rose-coloured spring and summer blossoms, of new poetry and new songs, of melodies in my heart and kindred souls, of new colours on my skin and flights through strange yet familiar worlds and the ever anew and ever perpetuating abundance and magic of life. Because the tragedy in life is never tragic as a whole. It grants us the chance to be more than what we have been before.”

“All the people we have ever loved remain. They are our ghosts. They make us who we are now. Everyone stays. And that's alright. ▪️ If you have found the right thing, the old ghost will let you go – it will not haunt you. This is the miracle: that everything is possible – despite everything. ▪️ I have loved so many different people. Maybe that's why I feel so all over the place. ▪️It doesn't pass – it will never pass. It has been real; it will always stay real. But that doesn't mean that it has to haunt you. You might believe that the old ghost had been the big picture, but he might solely have been the preparation for the bigger picture. ▪️ Everything is possible because the universe is as vast and infinite as the human heart. Let the world in. Fate wishes us well. Who knows which worlds will reveal themselves to us. Believe in wonders, and they will come to pass.”
