It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas  (Gunter Grass Quotes) Can it be that action is active resignation? Something is trying to develop; it moves ever so slightly, and there comes your man of action and bashes in the hothouse windows  (Gunter Grass Quotes) Actually I only wanted to have my tartar removed, though I had my suspicions: He’s sure to find something.

It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous  (Gunter Grass Quotes) I shall speak of how melancholy and utopia preclude one another. How they fertilize one another... of the revulsion that follows one insight and precedes the next... of superabundance and surfeit. Of stasis in progress. And of myself, for whom melancholy and utopia are heads and tails of the same coin  (Gunter Grass Quotes) When the young woman leans over the sky, about to water the flowers as well as the weeds, her white front splits open until her milk runs  (Gunter Grass Quotes) It makes me realise that the fantasy of nature is much larger than my own fantasy.
