Berlin ist mehr ein Weltteil als eine Stadt
Berlin is rather a part of the world than a city
-Jean Paul, 1800





In Berlin, by the wall
you were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
candlelight and Dubonnet on ice
- Lou Reed, Berlin


Violence as poetry
Monologism as poetry
Irrational isolation as poetry
Wieder und immer noch as poetry
Hypocrisy as poetry
As long awaited rather than late as poetry
Breitbandtherapeutikum as poetry
A false graphic mirror of the world as poetry
Squeaking chalk on a blackboard as poetry
Never more so as poetry
Greet the circus with a smile as poetry
Ignorance is not a priori amnesia as poetry
Regret-free transition as poetry


There are many people in the world who really don't understand - or say they don't - what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.. Let them come to Berlin!
- JFK














Berlin ist arm, aber sexy.
Berlin is poor, but sexy.
- Klaus Wowereit
Berlin is poor, but sexy.
- Klaus Wowereit






Berliners are unfriendly and inconsiderate, gruff and opinionated, Berlin is repulsive, noisy, dirty and gray, road works and clogged streets where people go and stand - but I feel sorry for all the people who can not live here!
-Anneliese Bödecker

Berlin. What a garrison of spies! what a cabinet full of useless, liquid secrets, what a playground for every alchemist, miracle worker and rat piper that ever took up the cloak.
