brainstorm, take me away from the norm

love this song, it brings me back to high school..
 (or middle school?) ..and has a great calming effect.

today i was sharing some beautiful german quotes (very poorly translated might I add) about life, death and love with a certain SM. i know people say german is not a pretty language, but i disagree. i think it has a certain way of summarizing great thoughts in a very concise manner. this makes sense as it would be considered 'efficient' and that is, after all, what us germans are all about... enjoy :)
ps please forgive my poor translations.

Das einzig Wichtige im Leben sind die Spuren der Liebe, die wir hinterlassen, 
wenn wir ungefragt gehen müssen.

The most important thing in life are the traces of love we leave behind,
when we must depart it.

Das Letzte ist nicht Tod, sondern Auferstehung, 
und am Ende steht nicht Verlust, sondern Vollendung des Lebens.

Death is not an end, but an awakening,
and it does not bring loss, but completion of life. 

Das Licht der Liebe ist stärker als die Schatten des Todes.

The light of love is stronger than the shadow of death.
