"When I flew above all human things, I noticed up there at the top that there are still mountains to climb and all kinds of obstacles left in reality. And yet it was this boundless overestimation of myself that saved me. That blind faith in fate, which sometimes really leads to triumph, if we don't let our soul breaking through all the troubles of life be torn like a lamb breaks through a thorn hedge.
