More From Friedrich Durrenmatt

Each person shines with his or her own light. no two flames are alike. there are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.
