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.

More quotes by Wolfgang Borchert
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
I've got a deep dark suspicion that pretty soon we should start looking around for another planet for ourselves.
Wolfgang Borchert
Truth will only make you unpopular.
Wolfgang Borchert
