"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."

ES GIBT EIN ZIEL, ABER KEINEN WEG

Es gibt ein Ziel, aber keinen Weg;

was wir Weg nennen, ist Zögern.

(Franz Kafka; 3.07.1883 - 3.06.1924)

I do not think, sir, you have any right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
