“That is all very senseless, but this senselessness has a pretty mouth, and it smiles.”
― Jakob von Gunten

“I don't want a future, I want a present. To me this appears of greater value. You have a future only when you have no present, and when you have a present, you forget to even think about the future.”
― The Tanners

“Ultimately, the most romantic thing is the heart, and every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls.”
