“This girl [ … ] loves to share her time with others. [ … ] We should simply hold on to her friends. [ … ] What will all her time matter to her then?”
– Board member of the Time Savings Bank at the extraordinary meeting on the ‘Momo’ problem / Michael Ende: “Momo”
Michael Ende succinctly sums up a simple basic truth of our existence with sobering clarity: we must be able to share our time with those people who are particularly close to our hearts - otherwise our lifetime soon becomes devoid of meaning. For a lifetime in which it is only others who bestow attention and affection on us will be stale and dull.
