More quotes by Christa Wolf
Much later I realized that a person's attitude to pain reveals more about his future than almost any other sign I know.
Christa Wolf
It is this ability to bear what is unbearable and to go on living, to go on doing what one is used to doing—it is this uncanny ability that the existence of the human race is based on.
Christa Wolf
The most beautiful thing under the sun is being under the sun.
Christa Wolf

Christa Wolf

Christa Wolf
