These are quotes about my random thoughts, analyses, practical knowledge, useful info you probably didn’t know, or interesting facts I have run into, occasionally. These are the first 15 quotes. 1. Most people falsely assume that “Rocky (1976)” is the first film Sylvester Stallone starred in – wrong! In Wikipedia, I actually counted that it’s the 18th movie he has ever appeared or taken a role in. Not giving up may be the key to success. 2.

Kaum eine andere Phase im Leben einer Frau ist so kurios, abwechslungsreich und spannend wie die eigene Schwangerschaft.

Übertroffen wird diese Phase in ihrer Kuriosität nur noch von den ersten Lebensjahren des Nachwuchses und all dessen rasante Entwicklungen.
