Über die Jahre hinweg sind mir immer wieder Zitate zu Ohren gekommen, die ich oftmals auch bereits zu kennen glaubte und mir zudem dabei sicher war, auch den dazugehören Autoren benennen zu können.

Sehr oft war es dann aber der Fall, dass zumindest mir der tatsächliche Autor bis heute verborgen blieb. Die jeweiligen Zitate gefielen mir dennoch und blieben mir weiterhin in Erinnerung, sodass ich sie nunmehr in diesem Beitrag zusammenfasse.
