Before I wrote the film I had never heard of William Wallace and his story seemed so romantic to me. I think he is an ancestor, I feel his blood in my veins. I can't prove it but then no one can disprove it.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass sich die Jungs alles kaufen können, was sie wollen. Das nächste Auto. Den nächsten teuren Urlaub. Das nächste Haus. Aber was sie sich nicht kaufen können, ist dieser Moment, nächste Woche ins Stadion zu kommen.
Edin Terzic - Mai 2023
Als Kind dachte ich, es sei verboten, Fan eines Vereins aus einer anderen Stadt zu sein.
It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
There is no philosophy which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician.
The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.
Alles, was Vögel zum Fliegen brauchen, sind die richtig geformten Flügel, der richtige Druck und der richtige Winkel.
Es gibt so Tage, da gehen die Dinger einfach rein.
Julian Köster - Januar 2024, nach Sieg gegen Ungarn
Wir müssen uns in den Kopf rufen, dass wir zwar ein gutes Spiel gemacht haben, das aber sehr schnell wieder wertlos sein kann, wenn wir gegen Kroatien nicht da sind, wo wir sein wollen und sein müssen.
Johannes Golla - Januar 2024, nach Sieg gegen Ungarn
Die Ehe ist kein Ritual oder das Ende. Sie ist ein langer, intimer, gemeinsamer Tanz und nichts zählt mehr, als dein Gleichgewicht und die Wahl deines Partners.
Du bist nicht perfekt und unreparierbar beschädigt. Und du bist wunderbar.
Bibliotheken sind Leuchttürme für Kinder.
In a true partnership, the kind worth striving for, the kind worth insisting on, and even, frankly, worth divorcing over, both people try to give as much or even a little more than they get. 'Deserves' is not the point. And 'owes' is certainly not the point. The point is to make the other person as happy as we can, because their happiness adds to ours. The point is -- in the right hands, everything that you give, you get.
Some people are your family no matter when you find them, and some people are not, even if you are laid, still wet and crumpled, in their arms.
Boundaries are the lines we draw that mark off our autonomy and that of other people, that protect our privacy and that of others. Boundaries allow for intimate connection without dissolving or losing one's sense of self.
Everyone has two memories. The one you can tell and the one that is stuck to the underside of that, the dark, tarry smear of what happened.
Bad people doing bad things is not interesting. What I find interesting is good people doing bad things.
It takes something to get married: nerve, hope, a strong desire to make a certain statement - and it takes something to stay married: more hope, determination, a sense of humor, and needs that are best met by being in a pair.
Learning to listen, letting people finish their sentences, and most of all, the habit of noticing the difference between what people say and how they say it. {on the habits of psychoanalytic training and practice applied to fiction writing} The gap between what people tell you and what's really going on is what interests me.
Be real and unashamed. Even of your faults.
It is a wonderful, moving, heart-filling experience to sit with the man or woman you love and your beloved children and know that all are happy to be just where they are with each other and loving one another. This doesnt happen very often.
Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.
There is no such thing as a good writer and a bad liar.
Is it better for a woman to marry a man who loves her than a man she loves?
Men do not know what they do not know, and women should not tell them.
You cannot fake effort; talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.
Great sex is not a pleasant soak in the tub, with the scented candle burning. Great sex is more like a bomb exploding inside your right mind.
And sometimes we cling because the memory is so painful that we can't stop visiting it and hoping to make it come out differently. The risk of letting go is that we have to confront our own selves and our own possibilities.
To hold happiness is to hold the understanding that the world passes away from us, that the petals fall and the beloved dies. No amount of mockery, no amount of fashionable scowling will keep any of us from knowing and savoring the pleasure of the sun on our faces or save us from the adult understanding that it cannot last forever.
I wasn't surprised to find myself in the back of Mr. Klein's store, wearing only my undershirt and panties, surrounded by sable.
The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you.
Eine Glückliche Ehe ist die Union aus zwei Menschen, die sich vergeben können.
Bete einfach für ein dickes Fell und ein weiches Herz.
If our children have the background of a godly, happy home and this unshakable faith that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, they will have a foundation that the forces of hell cannot shake.
If I marry: He must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. His shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. His lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. Love must be so deep that it takes its stand in Christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. He must be active enough to save souls. He must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. His arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.
My job is to take care of the possible and to trust God with the impossible.
It is a foolish woman who expects her husband to be to her that which only Jesus Christ Himself can be: always ready to forgive, totally understanding, unendingly patient, invariably tender and loving, unfailing in every area, anticipating every need, and making more than adequate provision. Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain
Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we're inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man but let him be like You; I do not need one big and strong nor yet so very tall, nor need he be some genius, or wealthy, Lord, at all; but let his head be high, dear God, and let his eye be clear, his shoulders straight, whate'er his state, whate'er his earthly sphere; and let his face have character, a ruggedness if soul, and let his whole life show, dear God, a singleness of goal; then when he comes (as he will come) with quiet eyes aglow, I'll understand that he's the man I prayed for long ago.
God has not always answered my prayers. If He had, I would have married the wrong man -- several times!
Worship and worry cannot live in the same heart: they are mutually exclusive.
If I cannot give my children a perfect mother I can at least give them more of the one they've got--and make that one more loving. I will be available. I will take time to listen, time to play, time to be home when they arrive from school, time to counsel and encouerage.
I think losing a loved one must be a little like losing a leg. First there is the shock, then the anesthetic, and the painkillers; the attention of doctors and nurses, flowers and cards and visits from friends. But sooner or later you have to learn to walk without it.
Wir können nicht beten und dabei die gleichen bleiben.
Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed
Temptation and testing (or a trial) are two sides of the same coin. Satan uses an occasion or a person to tempt us to fall; God uses the same to try us and make us stronger.
Pity the married couple who expect too much from one another.
It takes more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God.
