Wolfgang Borchert quotes
-
“A man dies ... only a few circles in the water prove that he was ever there. And even they quickly disappear. And when they're gone, he's forgotten, without a trace, as if he'd never even existed. And that's all.”
-- Wolfgang Borchert -
“People who stand near the water in the darkness are either lovers or poets. Or else ... one of that great gray number who've simply had it -- who throw in their hand and won't play anymore.”
-- Wolfgang Borchert -
“I've got a deep dark suspicion that pretty soon we should start looking around for another planet for ourselves.”
-- Wolfgang Borchert -
