Kaspar Hauser - Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle

Opening caption:
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.

Kaspar Hauser:
Mother, I am so far away from everything.

Kaspar Hauser:
What are women good for?... Can you tell me that, Katy? Women are not good for anything but sitting still!

Professor Daumer:
Kaspar, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

Kaspar Hauser:
It feels strong in my heart... The music feels strong in my heart... I feel so unexpectedly old...

Professor Daumer:
You've been such a short time in the world, Kaspar...

Kaspar Hauser:
Why is everything so hard for me? Why can't I play the piano like I can breathe?

Professor Daumer:
In the two short years you have been here with me, you have learned so much! The people here want to help you make up for lost time.

Kaspar Hauser:
The people are like wolves to me.

Professor Daumer:
No. You mustn't say that...

Kaspar Hauser:
It seems to me that my coming into this world was a very hard fall.

Kaspar Hauser:
Nothing lives less in me than my life.
