Ernüchterung / Disillusionment Geboren / Born Gedicht / Poem Roman / Novel Verzweiflung / Despair
The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
It took years, honestly, to deal with the disappointment of Beijing.
There are nearly one billion illiterate people on Earth.
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair.
No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one.
