Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known. Nothing you can see that isn’t shown. Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world.[Es ist das Schicksal unserer Zeit, mit der ihr eigenen Rationalisierung und Intellektualisierung, vor allem: Entzauberung der Welt.]
If you can’t change your fate, change your attitude.
I want to seize fate by the throat.
Heart is what drives us and determines our fate. That is what I need for my characters in my books: a passionate heart. I need mavericks, dissidents, adventurers, outsiders and rebels, who ask questions, bend the rules and take risks.
