The Heiner H. Dörner-Homepage
I am mad about "windenergy"

Three guiding principles attend my life:
Embracing knowledge is nothing but recollection.
He who is not curious will never be informed.
To foresee the future look into the past.

At the end, here an old swabian maxim, also mine (spoken in Swabian):
En trockena, herzhafta Riasling zom Spargl odr Fisch,
en leichta, bodaständiga Trollinger zom Veschpern odr oifach dazwischanei
ond en donkla, kräftiga Lemberger zom siniera, meh brauchts net.
(some words in explanation: trockena=dry, herzhafta=substantial, Riasling=kind of white wine, Spargl=asparagus, bodastädiga=indigenous, native, Trollinger=kind of red wine, Veschpern=to have a light meal, oifach=simply, dazwischenei=at times, donkla=dark, kräfiga=strong, Lemberger=kind of wine (deep red), zom siniera= for meditation, meh brauchts net=nothing else is needed.
