    Du siehst die Dinge wie sie sind und fragst warum ich Dinge träume wie sie nie waren und fragst warum nicht

    βλέπεις τα πράγματα όπως είναι και ρωτάς «γιατί» ονειρεύομαι τα πράγματα όπως δεν ήταν ποτέ και ρωτάς «γιατί όχι»

    vides res ut sunt et quaeris, 'cur' res somnio quae numquam fuerunt et quaeras, 'cur non'

    du ser ting som de er og spør "hvorfor" jeg drømmer ting som de aldri var og spør "hvorfor ikke"
