“But that is who we are, that is where we come from. We are the offspring of metropolitan annihilation and destruction, of the war of all against all, of the conflict of each individual with every other individual, of a system governed by fear, of the compulsion to produce, of the profit of one to the detriment of others, of the division of people into men and women, young and old, sick and healthy, foreigners and Germans, and of the struggle for prestige. Where do we come from? From isolation in individual row-houses, from the suburban concrete cities, from prison cells, from the asylums and special units, from media brainwashing, from consumerism, from corporal punishment, from the ideology of nonviolence, from depression, from illness, from degradation, from humiliation, from the debasement of human beings, from all the people exploited by imperialism.”
― Ulrike Meinhof

“Nur einsame Kinder können ganz ihre Leidenschaft zusammenhalten: die anderen zerschwätzen ihr Gefühl in Geselligkeit, schleifen es ab in Vertraulichkeiten, sie haben von Liebe viel gehört und gelesen und wissen, daß sie ein gemeinsames Schicksal ist.”
― Stefan Zweig, Brief einer Unbekannten

“To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth—I count that something of a miracle.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
