Bertolt Brecht, Leben des Galilei, Frankfurt a/M: Suhrkamp Verlag, edition suhrkamp 1, 1975, 18. Auflage, S.125:

"GALILEI: Ich halte dafür, dass das einzige Ziel der Wissenschaft darin besteht, die Mühseligkeit der menschlichen Existenz zu erleichtern."

Marco at 18:29

Marco: I usually strive for equilibrium and balance, and try to look at people and things from different points of view or angles and to seek their value on different experiential levels, realistic but also imaginative, rational but also emotional. Feelings, passionate beliefs and the aspiration to make the world better tend to prevail in my attitude - as with the type of a "dreamy idealist" - so that I frequently have to work hard for keeping my feet on the ground, and staying in touch with the mundane demands of everyday life. Although I am not religious in a tradional sense, I feel a deep attachment to an inner voice and to mystical experiences which support me and let me hope in my search for beauty, kindness, compassion, solidarity and love.
