Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. We are going away again, this tie to Central Asia, where, if anywhere upon earth, wisdom is to be found, and we anticipate that our journey will be a long one. - H. Rider Haggard She (1887) Every Mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one. - Rachel Carson A Traveler! By my faith you have great reason to be sad; I fear you have sold your own lands to see other men's; then, to have seen much and to have nothing, is to have rich eyes and poor hands. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It He who enters the Seventh Gate may not retrace his footsteps - Indian Proverb ... for our goal was not only the East, or rather the East was not only a country and something geographical, but it was the home and youth of the soul. It was everywhere and nowhere, it was the union of all times. - Herman Hesse | |
