"You should not write a book before you have heard an old sow fart; and then you should open your jaws with awe, saying, 'Thank you, lovely nightingale, that is just the text for me!'" --Martin Luther "Du solltest nicht ehe ein Buch schreiben, du hättest denn ein Forz von einer alten Sau gehöret. Da solltest du dein Maul gegen aufsperren und sagen: Dank habe, du schöne Nachtigall, da höre ich einen Text, der ist für mich." |
