PHILOSOPHY
Be the change you want to see in the world. (Mahatma Gandhi)
Handle nur nach derjenigen Maxime, durch die du zugleich wollen kannst, dass sie ein allgemeines Gesetz werde. (Immanuel Kant)
Die meisten Menschen sehen das Problem der Liebe in erster Linie als das Problem, selbst geliebt zu werden, statt zu lieben und lieben zu können. (Erich Fromm)

Music, Movies, and Books
I have to read so much for my philosophy studies that I don't read as much voluntarily as I did before.
Books that I enjoyed very much, however are:
Haben oder Sein, Die Kunst des Liebens (Erich Fromm),
Watership Down (Richard Adams)
More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory (Franklin Veaux and Tatiana Gill),
Die Psychologie sexueller Leidenschaft, Intimacy and Desire (David Schnarch),
Faust (Goethe),
Vom Schlechten des Guten oder Hekates Lösungen, Anleitung zum Unglücklichsein (Paul Watzlawick),
Emotionale Intelligenz (Daniel Goleman),
Sophies world (Jostein Gaarder),
Miteinander Reden (Friedemann Schulz von Thun).
Concerning movies: I'm not so much into movies because I simply don't have time for that.
I am not possessing a TV for more than 10 years now and I rarely go to the cinema. I'd rather make some music or read a book if I'm alone.
When I'm with somebody else or for recreation/contemplation watching a movie can be really fun :).
Music:
Since I'm studying and teaching music I'm trying to do professionally a lot of different styles of music:
