“Approaching the forest from the west was no army, but a delegation of Grailsundanian master surgeons on their way to an appendix conference . . . But that isn't the craziest part of the story - oh, no, my boy, for approaching from the east was a party of itinerant watchmakers bound for the pocket-watch fair at Wimbleton . . . But not even that is the craziest part of the story! For apporaching from the south were over a hundred armourers and locksmiths on their way to Florinth, where some power-hungry prince had commissioned them to build a monstrous war machine . . . Well, that would be enough crazy coincedences for an averagely crazy story but the battle of Nurn Forest involved the most improbable coincedences in the history of Zamonia. For entering the forest, this time from the north came a delegation of alchemists.”

“„Im letzten Fall erzählte ich dann einfach irgendwelchen rätselhaften Stuss. Wie etwa eine Schnecke ohne Haus ist wie ein Tiger ohne Streifen. Ich überließ es den armen Ratsuchenden, sich darüber den Rest ihres Lebens den Kopf zu zerbrechen. [...] Ausschlaggebend war, dass ich nie eine Antwort schuldig blieb. Verstehst du? Nie um einen Rat verlegen sein! Nur so gerät man in den Ruf der absoluten Unfehlbarkeit. Frechheit siegt.”
Walter Moers, Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures
“Verwechsle nicht den Botschafter mit der Nachricht." (Storr der Schnitter)”
