Ernst Toller Zitate

After that I could never pass a dead man without stopping to gaze on his face, stripped by death of that earthly patina which masks the living soul. And I would ask, who were you? Where was your home? Who is mourning for you now?

Danach konnte ich niemals einen toten Mann passieren, ohne auf sein Gesicht zu blicken, das durch den Tod dieser irdischen Patina, die die lebendige Seele maskiert, beraubt wird. Und ich würde fragen, wer warst du? Wo war dein Zuhause? Wer trauert jetzt um dich?

If you could spend your time doing precisely what you wish, how would the moments of your life be lived?

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

The work that I've gotten in the hiatuses seems to indicate that I will have a little more work after 'Mad Men' than I did when I was scraping by while I was temping in New York, but who knows? People very easily could be like, 'Meh, we're done with that. We've got Jon Hamm. We're good without the weird one with glasses.'
