Michael Ende – författare

Ingen människa tycktes inse att det i själva verket var något helt annat man sparade på, när man trodde att man sparade tid. Ingen ville erkänna att hans eller hennes liv hela iden bara blev fattigare och enformigare och tristare och kallare. Men barnen fick däremot känna av den saken, hur tydligt som helst, för numera var det ju ingen som hade tid med dem heller. Men tid är liv. Och livet bor i hjärtat. Och ju mer människorna sparade in på detta, desto fattigare blev de.
