German dramatist (1921-1947)
A man dies ... only a few circles in the water prove that he was ever there. And even they quickly disappear. And when they're gone, he's forgotten, without a trace, as if he'd never even existed. And that's all.
WOLFGANG BORCHERT
The Outsider
People who stand near the water in the darkness are either lovers or poets. Or else ... one of that great gray number who've simply had it -- who throw in their hand and won't play anymore.
WOLFGANG BORCHERT
The Outsider
I've got a deep dark suspicion that pretty soon we should start looking around for another planet for ourselves.

Truth will only make you unpopular.

The Outsider
Truth is like the town whore. Everybody knows her, but nonetheless, it's embarrassing to meet her on the street.
