Be an angel. Save a life.
Als das Kind Kind war,
wußte es nicht, daß es Kind war,
alles war ihm beseelt,
und alle Seelen waren eins.
—————————————————–
When the child was a child,
it didn’t know it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one.
-Peter Handke

(Christoph has noticed that he often gets the same Jones Soda fortune – maybe they should think of some new ones. Or perhaps he just has to save a life)

A hero is someone who's afraid to run away.
“Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.”
-Ayn Rand

Most people are other people.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

You're only given a little spark of madness. You musn't lose it.
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat. “We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
-Lewis Carroll

For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
-D.H. Lawrence

One of those days...
“Sanity may be madness, but the maddest of all is to see life as it is, not as it should be.”
-Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

I get by with a little help from my friends.
“Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success.”
-Oscar Wilde

Without music life would be a mistake.
There’s music in the sighing of a reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a rill;
There’s music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
-Lord Byron

...do I dare?
“There is no use in trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
-Lewis Carroll

The eye is on fire.
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
