“Please lift your snowy skies off my soul -Your diamond dreams slice through my veins”
“Du weißt doch, was ich von der Liebe halte. Wäre sie eine Fahne, ich würde sie erobern oder für sie fallen.”
“A true poet does not say 'azure'; a true poet says 'blue.”
“At home I have a blue piano.But I can’t play a note.It’s been in the shadow of the cellar doorEver since the world went rotten.Four starry hands play harmonies,The Woman in the Moon sang in her boat.Now only rats dance to the clanks.The keyboard is in bits.I wept for what is blue. Is dead.Sweet angels, I have eatenSuch bitter bread. Push openThe door of heaven. For me, for now-Although I am still alive-Although it is not allowed”
“Ich bin der Hieroglyph,Der unter der Schöpfung steht”
“I push the big red button,and it doesn`t work!”
“The self-aggrandizing and widespread assumption that we humans have the full complement of all of the emotions possible to all animals on Earth–basically, that all the marbles belong to us–is not only unscientific but also childish. Do we know how it feel is sail on an updraft in the sky, to echolocate our dinner in the dark, or to see at lightning speed with a compound eye? Fortunately, human understanding is maturing, and we are learning that animals are emotional, thinking, and self-aware beings relative to the niche that they were born to occupy.”
