Have books happened to you
Have books ‘happened’ to you?
Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading,
you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

It is beautiful …
It is beautiful,
it is endless,
it is full
and yet seems empty.

Our own front door …
Our own front door can be a wonderful thing,
or a sight we dread;
rarely is it only a door.

At least let me know whether or not I hurt you.

A tragedy…
A tragedy need not have blood and death;
it’s enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness
that is the pleasure of tragedy.

Ich springe doch nur …
Ich springe doch nur auf dem Trampolin, damit niemand merkt, dass ich nach den Sternen greife.

If you remember me …
If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.

So it’s true …
So it’s true,
when all is said and done,
grief is the price we pay for love.
