"Tell of the rustling. Speak of horizons. Practise, practise the strength of beautiful telling from one generation to another so that the beautiful does not pass again into oblivion. Tell each other of life's scenes. What was good shall be. Slow down to enjoy with the help of colours -- and discover. See the greenness and hear the droning and transform your spontaneous sighs into a powerful song."

"Follow the caravan music. Are not all these people indefatigable? Go on long enough until you can distinguish the details, long enough until the escape routes reveal themselves in the confusion. Go on slowly enough until the world belongs to you again, slowly enough until it becomes clear that it does not belong to you." -- Peter Handke, Über die Dörfer (On Villages)
