“some people don’t look like they’re the product of an act of love.”
german: “manche menschen sehen nicht aus als seien sie im liebesakt entstanden.”

  

(Roger Willemsen)

After reading this quote again and again I think it can be misunderstood very easily - thank you firsttimeuser for pointing it out & telling me your opinion about it! The true meaning behind it is not clear enough, especially in the translated English version, but also the German version is really ambiguous. That’s why I feel the urge to apologize for any misunderstandings and to correct that mistake.

I’m very sure that the quote is not meant to criticize how people look (as I know the author’s work), but the way some people behave: like they were full of hate and their only purpose in life is to start fights and make other people’s lives miserable. Again, this shouldn’t have sounded aggressive in any way. If it did then it wasn’t my intenion and I’m deeply sorry for that.

This shows once again how important it is to question everything, even things that seem to be unambiguous can turn out to be very controversal and ambiguous (in a bad way).

Thanks for your attention.
