Quote

“My texts tell the story of“ Church from below ”. I tried to stay with the people. That means, with their problems, conflicts, disturbances and humanities, more blatantly: in the "filth of the world". But that also means with their joys, sensitivities, promises and dreams. Tears have flowed here and there. I did not count them. I hope that the humor was not neglected. "
