Manchmal begleiten einen Gedanken, schwirren unpräzise durch den eigenen Kopf und sind schwer in Worte zu fassen. Irgendwann liest man dann irgendwo ein Zitat oder hört es in einem Podcast, das dann urplötzlich Klarheit und Ordnung in diese Gedanken bringt.
Manche Zitate enthalten in kurzer und prägnanter Form auch soviel Weisheit, sodass man lange auf ihnen „herumkauen“ kann. Sie regen damit zum Nachdenken und Reflektieren an.
Um die Kraft der Zitate nicht abzuschwächen, werde ich sie in der jeweiligen Originalsprache belassen.
