On these pages of this website you will find quotes, sayings, consisting of truths and other observations that, in my opinion, briefly and concisely describe the world, life, people, phenomena, behaviors, power, leadership and other oddities of our existence and seen from different perspectives (even unexpected) points of view. 1 700 "observations" are on this site.
These "observations" are available in several different language versions, see above.
