PHILOSOPHY
Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit der Andersdenkenden -
Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters
Rosa Luxenbourg
Heimat ist da, wo man sich nicht erklären muss.
Home is, where you don´t have to explain yourself.
Fremd ist der Fremde nur in der Fremde
A foreigner is foreign only in a foreign environment
Karl Valentin
Man muß Geduld haben
gegen das Ungelöste im Herzen,
und versuchen, die Fragen selber lieb zu haben,
wie verschlossene Stuben,
und wie Bücher, die in einer sehr fremden Sprache
geschrieben sind.
Es handelt sich darum, alles zu leben.
Wenn man die Fragen lebt,
lebt man vielleicht allmählich,
ohne es zu merken,
eines fremden Tages
in die Antwort hinein.
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
Rainer Maria Rilke
