Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts Quotes

“And the world suddenly appeared to me as such an awfully large place, with I so totally alone in it that I could have cried from the bottom of my heart.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts

“Everybody is so happy, and no one has a thought for you. And this is what happens to me everywhere and always. Everyone has marked out his own little spot on the Earth, his warm stove, his cup of coffee, his wife, his glass of wine in the evening, and is quite content with that;[...]I don't feel at ease anywhere. It is as if I always arrive a second too late, as if all the world had utterly failed to take me into account.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts

“Mir ist’s nirgends recht. Es ist, als wäre ich überall eben zu spät gekommen, als hätte die ganze Welt gar nicht auf mich gerechnet.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts

“At last the gardener arrived, mumbling something about rascals and country bumpkins, and took me out into the park, giving me a lengthy lecture as he did so. I was instructed to be sober and industrious, and not to wander about aimlessly or waste my time in unproductive activities: if I heeded this counsel, he said, I might in time achieve something. He gave me much other useful and well-phrased advice too, but I have since forgotten almost all of it.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts

“Das tut gar nichts... ich möchte gar nicht so reisen: Pferde und Kaffee und frischüberzogene Betten und Nachtmützen und Stiefelknecht vorausbestellt. Das ist just das Schönste, wenn wir frühmorgens heraustreten, und die Zugvögel hoch über uns fortziehn, dass wir gar nicht wissen, welcher Schornstein heut für uns raucht, und gar nicht voraussehen, was uns bis zum Abend noch für ein besonderes Glück begegnen kann.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts
