A man dies ... only a few circles in the water prove that he was ever there. And even they quickly disappear. And when they're gone, he's forgotten, without a trace, as if he'd never even existed. And that's all.
Wolfgang Borchert

More quotes by Wolfgang Borchert
Truth will only make you unpopular.
Wolfgang Borchert
People who stand near the water in the darkness are either lovers or poets. Or else ... one of that great gray number who've simply had it -- who throw in their hand and won't play anymore.
Wolfgang Borchert
I've got a deep dark suspicion that pretty soon we should start looking around for another planet for ourselves.
Wolfgang Borchert
