Walter Moers said this quote

Es kommt nicht darauf an, wie eine Geschichte anfängt. Auch nicht darauf, wie sie aufhört. Sondern auf das, was dazwischen passiert.

~ Walter Moers

In my profession it isn’t a question of telling good literature from bad. Really good literature is seldom appreciated in its own day. The best authors die poor, the bad ones make money — it’s always been like that. What do I, an agent, get out of a literary genius who won’t be discovered for another hundred years? I’ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.

~ Walter Moers

I've never thought much of strictly organised and methodical study. You can't arrange a library in alphabetical order until you've collected one.

~ Walter Moers

On horseback you feel as if you're moving in time to classical music a camel seems to progress to the beat of a drum played by a drunk.
