Quote by Max Hermann-Neisse

“Sommermittag am See Der Mittag träumt. Der See bewegt sich träge. Im einsam weißen Haus klagt das Klavier. Die Uhr macht langsam ihre Stundenschläge. Auf heißem Stein sonnt sich ein Katzentier. Im Strandbad lassen sich die Menschen schmoren, es riecht so sommerlich nach Holz und Teer. Man fühlt sich ohne Pflichten, weltverloren, und spürt den nahen Süden und sein Meer.”

“I want to make you mine, not just in whispered promises, not just in silent prayers, but in the life we build, brick by brick, hand in hand. But my hands empty, searching grasp only air where security should be. Not because I do not try, not because I do not dream, but because the world demands more than love alone. I am not afraid of struggle. I am not ashamed of waiting. But I fear the days slipping, the distance stretching, the time that asks me, "When?" when I have no answer yet. I do not want to come to you with only poetry in my pockets, with only love in my voice. I want to bring you a future, solid as the ground beneath our feet, safe as the home I will build for us. So I walk forward, step by step, fight by fight, knowing that one day, when I stand before you, it won’t just be as a lover but as the man who kept his promise.”

“7 Angry Men A few gentlemen, occupy a room They laugh and talk and gossip and croon Whatever they do, they do in unison Until it was time to leave, for the night is done The first agonized, with rain but no cover The second agathed over the fallen quarter The third in a hurry, stubbed his toe The shriek he incurred, woke those below The fourth, drunk enough, walked but failed The fifth, nonchalant about his car being towed The sixth, why, he can't leave Until everyone is gone, and hands over the keys! Seven angry men, They reside in a room Last one, you ask? Ah, beware - it might just be you”
