	Turtelina added a quote: "It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass. (Sam - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) (From The Lord of the Rings screenplay by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens; incorrectly attributed to JRR Tolkien)" — Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens add this quote »
	Turtelina added a quote: ""Ich hatte das gefühl, er hat in der Vergangenheit gelebt, eingeschlossen in seinen Erinnerungen, ganz für sich, für seine Bücher und in ihnen drin, wie ein Luxusgefangener." "Sie sagen das, als beneiden sie ihn." "Es gibt schlimmere Gefängnisse als Worte, Daniel."" — Carlos Ruiz Zafón add this quote »

"Wenn du mit jemandem einen Streit hast, schliesse Frieden und vergib ihm sofort. Er mag ein Idiot sein, aber das ist sein Fehler, und nicht deiner."

"In dieser Traumwelt lebte er mehr als in der wirklichen Welt: Schulsaal, Klosterhof,… war nur Oberfläche, nur eine dünne Haut über der traumgefüllten, ünerwirklichen Bilderwelt. Ein nichts war genug, um in diese dünne Haut ein Loch zu stossen, und hinter der friedlichen dürren Wirklichkeit die tosenden Abgründe, Ströme und Milchstrassen jener Seelenbilderwelt zu entfachen."
— Hermann Hesse
