Von wegen gedeckt, grau und trüb. Auch der Winter kann wunderschöne Farben haben - am Sonntag erst habe ich ein paar davon auf Fehmarn genießen können.

Take your work seriously, but never yourself. Margot Fonteyn (?)
Man sollte jeden Tag versuchen, ein kleines Lied zu hören, ein gutes Gedicht zu lesen, ein schönes Bild anzuschauen, und, wenn es möglich ist, ein paar vernünftige Worte zu sprechen. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning. Rick Cook
Wer immer nur funktioniert, entzieht sich dem Abenteuer des Lebens. Armin Mueller-Stahl
Every generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality? Scott Adams
Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things. Douglas Adams
Deutschland ist ohne freiheitliche Tradition, ihm fehlt das wirkliche Bürgerbewußtsein, ihm fehlt der Stolz des Zivilisten gegenüber der Uniform. Carl von Ossietzky
The man who sets out to carry a cat by its tail learns something that will always be useful and which never will grow dim or doubtful. Mark Twain

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes.

But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense.

If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

Bertrand Russell
Viel zu spät begreifen viele
die versäumten Lebensziele:
Freuden, Schönheit und Natur,
Gesundheit, Reisen und Kultur.
Darum, Mensch, sei zeitig weise!
Höchste Zeit ist’s! Reise, reise!

Wilhelm Busch
Aus des Schicksals dunkler Quelle
Rinnt das wechselvolle Los
Heute stehst du fest und groß
Morgen wankst du auf der Welle
