LiteraturZitate #1

Das Fernsehen, ist der Antichrist, und ich sage Ihnen, es werde drei oder vier Generationen genügen, bis die Leute nicht einmal mehr selbständig furzen können und der Mensch in die Höhle, in die mittelalterliche Barbarei und in einen Schwachsinn zurückfällt, den schon die Nacktschnecke im Pleistozän überwunden hat. Diese Welt wird nicht von der Atombombe zerstört werden, wie uns die Zeitungen weismachen wollen, sondern sie wird sich totlachen, wird an Banalität zugrunde gehen, weil sie aus allem einen Witz macht, einen schlechten noch dazu.
****
Television, my dear Daniel, is the Antichrist, and I can assure you that after only three or four generations, people will no longer even know how to fart on their own. Humans will return to living in caves, to medieval savagery, and to the general state of imbecility that slugs overcame back in the Pleistocene era. Our world will not die as a result of the bomb, as the papers say - it will die of laughter, of banality, of making a joke of everything, and a lousy joke at that.

(Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Der Schatten des Windes - The Shadow of the Wind)

Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings (Official Video) from the movie Bea...

                                Wind Beneath My Wing

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

Dylan Thomas - Request to an Obliging Poet


Come, sing me a song of the succulent spring,
Of the balmy and beautiful season,
Come, chirp me a chant of the peewit on wing.
Or any fair fowl within reason,
Yes, lisp me a lyric of lielies and languor,
Of maids from Kidwelly and lasses from Bangor.

Come, pen me a poem of plentiful passion,
Of fairies and flowers and fauns,
Come scintillate sharply in Sitwellian fashion.
Of parrots and perches and peacocks on lawns,
Yes, soothe me with songs of the serpentine sea,
Of Naiads from Narberth and nymphs from Pwlldu.

Come, croon me a carol of sorrel and coral,
Of mermaids and numerous moons,
Come, prattle a prologue with motive and moral,
Of peaches and prisms and prunes,
Yes, warble away on Ophelia and Hamlet,
Of the gnomes from Llanllwch and the elves from Llansamlet.
