“I'm a reasonable kind of guy. If I hear something that seems to make sense, I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. If the alternative explanation has to be pounded into shape before it fits the mould of our experience, it seems to me that it's unlikely to be true.”
Frank Schätzing, The Swarm

“Merkwürdige Rasse, die Menschheit. Flog zum Mond und schändete kleine Kinder.”
Frank Schätzing, Limit
