More quotes by Michael Ende
Only the right name gives beings and things their reality. A wrong name makes everything unreal. That's what lies do.
Michael Ende
When it comes to controlling human beings, there is no better instrument than lies. Because you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.
Michael Ende
But that is another story and shall be told another time.
Michael Ende
Nothing is lost. . .Everything is transformed.
Michael Ende
You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise.
Michael Ende
Lots of things take time, and time was Momo's only form of wealth.
Michael Ende
No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.
Michael Ende
Momo listened to everyone and everything - even to the rain and the wind and the pine trees - and all of them spoke to her after their own fashion.
Michael Ende
There are many kinds of delusion.
Michael Ende
What I've started I must finish. I've gone too far to turn back. Regardless of what may happen, I have to go forward.
Michael Ende
Once someone dreams a dream, it can't just drop out of existence. But if the dreamer can't remember it, what becomes of it?
Michael Ende
Once someone dreams a dream, it can't just drop out of existence. But if the dreamer can't remember it, what becomes of it? It lives on in Fantastica, deep under earth. There are forgotten dreams stored in many layers. The deeper one digs, the closer they are. All Fantastica rests on a foundation of forgotten dreams.
Michael Ende
Calendars and clocks exist to measure time, but that signifies little because we all know that an hour can seem as eternity or pass in a flash, according to how we spend it.
Michael Ende
Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time.
Michael Ende
My will can control anything that’s empty.
Michael Ende
He had been through a good deal in the course of the Great Quest — he had seen beautiful things and horrible things — but up until now he had not known that one and the same creature can be both, that beauty can be terrifying.
Michael Ende
Without a past you can't have a future.
Michael Ende
Just as the setting sun turned the clouds to liquid gold.
Michael Ende
You wish for something, you've wanted it for years, and you're sure you want it, as long as you know you can't have it. But if all at once it looks as though your wish might come true, you suddenly find yourself wishing you had never wished for any such thing.
Michael Ende
There are many kinds of joy, but they all lead to one: the joy to be loved.
Michael Ende
