Searching And Finding Quotes

“I have lived in seventy-two cities over the course of my life," the old man said, proudly. "There is no part of the world, I know nothing about." The young people on the bench beside him looked at him with admiration. "And which city did you like best?" one asked him. The old man thought for a long time, then sighed. "Now I look back," he said, "I think I was happiest in the village in the country where I grew up. If it had been the second place I had lived, I like I should have stayed there my whole life. But because it was the first, I convinced myself that there must be somewhere better and have never stopped looking for it.”

“I am going and I don't know where I am going. I leave you searching for answers. When I get there, if there is any way to come back either spiritually or physically or through a revelation, I will let you know what I have experienced. Of course some will not believe me or the one I send”

“Während eine Prägung bei einem Tier dauerhaft und unveränderlich ins Verhaltensrepertoire aufgenommen wird und wie angeboren wirkt, zeichnet sich der Mensch dadurch aus, Grenzen (auch Mauern!) zu überwinden. Das zeigt seine Evolution, wie der Kulturgeograf Werner Bätzing in seinem Buch "Homo destructor" nachzeichnet. Der Mensch kann von sich selbst abstrahieren und andere Perspektiven einnehmen, letztlich andere Wege beschreiten. Dass dies nicht immer glücklich ist, oftmals katastrophale Folgen hat, ist ein anderes Thema.”

“Bad, or good, as it happens to be, that is what it is to exist! . . . It is as though I have been silent and fuddled with sleep all my life. In spite of all, I know now that at least it is better to go always towards the summer, towards those burning seas of light; to sit at night in the forecastle lost in an unfamiliar dream, when the spirit becomes filled with stars, instead of wounds, and good and compassionate and tender. To sail into an unknown spring, or receive one's baptism on storm's promontory, where the solitary albatross heels over in the gale, and at last come to land. To know the earth under one's foot and go, in wild delight, ways where there is water.”
