German author and poet (b. 1899), Birth: 23-2-1899, Death: 29-7-1974
1.
Most people put their childhood away as if it was an old hat. They forget it as if it was a phone number that does not apply anymore. They think about their life as if it was a salami which they are eating slice by slice and then they become grown-ups, but what are they now? Only those who grow up and still remain children are real human beings.
Erich Kastner

2.
The only people who attain power are those who crave it.
Erich Kastner
