— Jantje Friese, Martin Behnke, H.G. Tannhaus, Christian Steyer, imdb.com

“Your pain defines who you are but it no longer holds power on you.”

— Jantje Friese, Ronny Schalk, Noah, Mark Waschke, imdb.com

“We're not free in what we do, because we're not free in what we want. We can't overcome what's deep within us.”

“Black holes are considered to be the hellmouths of the universe. Those who fall inside disappear. Forever. But where to? What lies behind a black hole? Along with things, do space and time also vanish there? Or would space and time be tied together and be part of an endless cycle? What if everything…”

— Jantje Friese, Martin Behnke, H.G. Tannhaus, Christian Steyer, imdb.com

“God doesn’t have a plan. There is no plan at all. There’s nothing but chaos out there. Pain… and chaos! People are bad. Malicious, evil. Life is nothing but a spiral of pain. And the world is doomed to be destroyed.”

— Jantje Friese, Marc O. Seng, Noah, Mark Waschke, imdb.com

“Do you know what otoconia are? Tiny grains in the ear canals that help us differentiate between up and down. They can get confused. When the body rotates, for example. We lose our balance. With this boy, none of the grains are where they should be.”

“Now I have another Grandma, and she's the principal of my school. Her husband, who's fucking my mom, is looking for his son, who's my father! A few days ago I kissed my Aunt! And the crazy thing is... there's nothing wrong with any of them. They're okay. I'm what's wrong! I just want everything to g…”

— Jantje Friese, Ronny Schalk, Noah, Mark Waschke, imdb.com

“Have you heard of Master Zhuang’s paradox? 'I dreamt I was a butterfly. Now I’ve woken up and I no longer know if I’m a person who dreamed he’s a butterfly or if I’m a butterfly who’s dreaming it’s a person.'”

— Jantje Friese, Ronny Schalk, Ines Kahnwald, Anne Ratte-Polle, imdb.com

“Why do we decide for one thing and against another? But does it matter whether the decision is based upon the consequence of a series of causal links? Or that instead it stems from an undefined feeling inside me? Perhaps everything in my life boils down to this one moment. That I’m part of this puzz…”

— Jantje Friese, Ronny Schalk, H.G. Tannhaus, Christian Steyer, imdb.com

“We trust that time is linear. That it proceeds eternally, uniformly. Into infinity. But the distinction between past, present and future is nothing but an illusion. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are not consecutive, they are connected in a never-ending circle. Everything is connected.”

— Jantje Friese, The Stranger, Andreas Pietschmann, imdb.com
