Und der Mensch heißt Mensch,
weil er vergisst, weil er verdrängt,
weil er wärmt, wenn er erzählt,
und weil er schwankt und glaubt,
sich anlehnt und vertraut,
weil er erinnert, weil er kämpft,
weil er hofft und liebt,
weil er mitfühlt und vergibt,
WEIL ER LACHT UND WEIL ER LEBT...
(Herbert Grönemeyer)

PHILOSOPHY

"It is easier to talk with people that share the same origins and conceptions, but it is more rewarding to understand the rest of the world and be understood in return."

"No properly executed task is something really properly owned; it is a part of a world task."
(Thomas Woodrow Wilson)
