Karl Braungart (Lost Identity (Remmich/Miller, #1))
How strange! This bed on which I shall lie has been slept on by more than one dying man, but today it does not repel me! Who knows what corpses have lain on it and for how long? But is a corpse any worse than I? A corpse too knows nothing of its father, mother or sisters or Titus. Nor has a corpse a sweetheart. A corpse, too, is pale, like me. A corpse is cold, just as I am cold and indifferent to everything. A corpse has ceased to live, and I too have had enough of life…. Why do we live on through this wretched life which only devours us and serves to turn us into corpses? The clocks in the Stuttgart belfries strike the midnight hour. Oh how many people have become corpses at this moment! Mothers have been torn from their children, children from their mothers - how many plans have come to nothing, how much sorrow has sprung from these depths, and how much relief!… Virtue and vice have come in the end to the same thing! It seems that to die is man’s finest action - and what might be his worst? To be born, since that is the exact opposite of his best deed. It is therefore right of me to be angry that I was ever born into this world! Why was I not prevented from remaining in a world where I am utterly useless? What good can my existence bring to anyone? … But wait, wait! What’s this? Tears? How long it is since they flowed! How is this, seeing that an arid melancholy has held me for so long in its grip? How good it feels - and sorrowful. Sad but kindly tears! What a strange emotion! Sad but blessed. It is not good for one to be sad, and yet how pleasant it is - a strange state…
Frédéric Chopin
You never told me," he said to a dead Erik Vandenburg and the Stuttgart skyline. "You never told me you had a son.
Markus Zusak (The Book Thief)
Georg Hegel was born in 1770 in Stuttgart, Germany, and studied theology at Tübingen where he met and became friends with the poet Friedrich Hölderlin and the philosopher Friedrich Schelling.
Will Buckingham (The Philosophy Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained (DK Big Ideas))
He wanted to walk out—Lord, how he wanted to (or at least he wanted to want to)—but he knew he wouldn’t. It was much the same as the way he left his family in Stuttgart, under a veil of fabricated loyalty. To live. Living was living. The price was guilt and shame.

Markus Zusak (The Book Thief)
Sergeant Major Reinhold von Rumpel is forty-one years old, not so old that he cannot be promoted. He has moist red lips; pale, almost translucent cheeks like fillets of raw sole; and an instinct for correctness that rarely fails him. He has a wife who suffers his absences without complaint, and who arranges porcelain kittens by color, lightest to darkest, on two different shelves in their drawing room in Stuttgart. He also has two daughters whom he has not seen in nine months. The eldest, Veronika, is deeply earnest. Her letters to him include phrases like sacred resolve, proud accomplishments, and unparalleled in history.
Anthony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See)
The woman was finally done, and Beatrix reached for a magazine. There were always German magazines lying around here, Vogue was extremely rare; who wanted to read German magazines, anyway? Twin Murders in Stuttgart. Certainly an awful place, it even sounded like murder. Sex in Germany. That was probably even worse.
Ingeborg Bachmann (Simultan. Erzählungen)
You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos.
Rudolf Steiner (Foundations of Human Experience: 14 lectures in Stuttgart, Aug. 20 – Sept. 5, 1919 (CW 293); 2 lectures in Berlin, Mar. 15 & 17, 1917 (CW 66))
We accuse ourselves of not having professed our faith more courageously, of not having prayed more faithfully, of not having believed more joyfully, and of not having loved more fervently.
Stuttgart Declaration 1945
stilul meu va dobandi un caracter specific din clipa cand nu se va mai sinchisi de nimic, va fi exact, nu va adormi. a face curte direct unei femei pe care o doresti e cea mai mare prostie. asta n-ar reusi decat cu o femeie neatinsa de vanitate. si vanitatea femeilor e locul comun al tuturor filozofilor. fie doua surori A si B: daca vrei ca A sa te placa trebuie neaparat sa incepi prin a-i face curte lui B. ..ajungand la han, am gasit acolo doua fetiscane cu obrajii rumeni. amandoua erau dragute. am apucat-o de cur pe cea mai putin draguta, as fi putut s-o [..] dar m-am gandit ca ar fi imprudent chiar la inceput de campanie. oricum asta mi-a risipit toata melancolia care ma rodea de cand am plecat din Pforzheim si am fost fericit pana la Stuttgart. in timpul drumului am citit Viata lui Alfieri, vol 2. te poti preface o luna-doua dar in cele din urma adevaratul caracter tot iese la iveala: nu tin neaparat sa am femei. Martial a avut, intre 18 si 31 de ani, vreo 22 de femei, dintre care 12 intr-adevar dupa o intriga amoroasa. eu am 25 de ani si in urmatorii 10 ani voi avea probabil 6 femei. voi avea, de asemenea, 20 de cai de acum si pana cand nu voi mai fi in stare sa incalec din pricina varstei. sufletul e oare substanta, sau calitate – pusa odata cu ochiul in trup, consecinta a existentei ochiului? principiul lui Locke potrivit caruia toate ideile ne vin prin simturi, si anatomia pasiunilor asa cum reiese din Helvetius dovedesc ca nu vedem in om niciun fel de efect al sufletului, ca nu exista decat efecte ale simturilor, ca nu exista par conséquent suflet. cele doua portrete ale Imparatului sunt intr-adevar marete, dar Appiani a facut din el un iluminat. se pare ca pictorii nu concep altfel geniul. acea intelegere superioara care surprinde pe cat posibil omeneste raporturile reale dintre lucruri, si care domina evenimentele printr-o prudenta rece, le ramane invizibila. gasesc ca sensibilitatea e inconsistenta, ca autorul [Schiller] n-a adancit suficient ideile majore, in sfarsit ca personajele sale n-au destul spirit [esprit]. exceptand acestea si unele lungimi catre final, piesele sunt bune. dar sensibilitatea intemeiata pe-o serie de idei vagi si umflate, ca aceea din Werther, mi se pare o consecinta a lipsei de spirit specifice natiei, nu ma emotioneaza. raceala germanilor se explica bine prin hrana lor: paine neagra, unt, lapte si bere. cafea totusi, dar ar trebui sa bea vin, si inca din cel mai tare, pt a le insufleti muschii puhavi. apoi lectura Bibliei i-a ajutat si ea sa fie neghiobi si emfatici. de altfel e o cauza care actioneaza si asupra caracterului britanic. dar cei mai mari suverani din sec 18, Frederick II si Catherina II, apartineau acestei natii.

Tad Williams (City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, #1))
Sinclair unzipped the pouch and Reacher smelled copier paper still hot from the printer. There had been a flurry of phone calls, he guessed, and then a high-speed digital transmission incoming from somewhere, either Personnel Command back home, or Stuttgart maybe, directly into the Hamburg consulate, where a high-speed machine had done fast work, and where the young attaché in the Brooks Brothers tie had caught the tumbling pages and butted them together and zipped them up and grabbed a cab. The National Security Council. Even faster than the army press room. The

Young (Unbridled (A Harem Boy's Saga, #2))
still up at Medium. Again, it’s your alignment that makes you right, not your credentials or the quality of your arguments. Take Knut Wittkowski, for example, one of the victims of YouTube censorship mentioned above. He’s the former head of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design at Rockefeller University’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science. He has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Stuttgart and a Doctor of Science degree in medical biometry from the University of Tübingen, both top German universities. He has as much expertise as anyone from WHO. But he was a staunch critic of the lockdowns and the logic behind them. That made him one of the wrong people.
Jay W. Richards (The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe)
At Wilhelma, a zoo in Stuttgart, Germany, for example, two females attacked a male and bit his penis in half (a microsurgeon repaired the damage and the male went on to reproduce).
