Das Schönste am Leben sind die Fragen. Die Antworten sind sowieso immer Quatsch, weil man die wirklichen Fragen gar nicht beantworten kann.
(‘The best thing in life are the questions. Answers are nonsense anyway because the real questions cannot be answered at all.’)

Peter Zadek (German writer/director, 1926-2009)
