“Writers are there to write, not experience things. If you want to experience things, become a pirate or a Bookhunter. If you want to write, write. If you can't find the makings of a story inside yourself, you won't find them anywhere.”
― Walter Moers, The City of Dreaming Books

“Rätselhafterweise ist Schriftsteller trotzdem der schönste Beruf der Welt. Mehr als das. Schriftsteller zu sein, ist eine Auszeichnung. Ein Privileg. Das hat mit Freiheit zu tun und mit drei Dingen, an die ich glaube: Liebe, Literatur und Liebe zur Literatur.”
― Juli Zeh

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don't know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn't you. That isn't you at all.”
― Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life
