“Stealing from one author is plagiarism; from many authors, research.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

“People always covet what they themselves do not possess.”

“In my profession it isn’t a question of telling good literature from bad. Really good literature is seldom appreciated in its own day. The best authors die poor, the bad ones make money — it’s always been like that. What do I, an agent, get out of a literary genius who won’t be discovered for another hundred years? I’ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

“Stelle Dich an den Abrgund der Hölle
Und tanze zur Musik der Sterne!”
― Walter Moers, Ensel und Krete: Ein Märchen aus Zamonien
