"Die Utopie eines jungen, innovativen Literaturverlags, die Daniela Seel jetzt realisiert hat, hielten die präpotenten «Experten» für völlig blauäuig. Nun zeigt uns eine dreissigjährige Verlegerin, dass literarische Leidenschaft eben doch Berge versetzen kann. (Presumptous 'experts' considered the utopia of a young, innovative literary publisher like the one Daniela Seel has now realised to be completely naïve. Now a thirty-year-old publisher shows us that literary passion can move mountains.)"
"Immer noch überkomme sie von Zeit zu Zeit das Gefühl, auf der falschen Seite zu stehen, sagt sie, doch sieht man ihr an, dass sie diese Last gern trägt – und es auch kann. Denn hinter ihrem zarten, verletzlich wirkenden Äußeren stecken Kraft und Selbstbewusstsein. (From time to time, she still gets the feeling that she's on the wrong side, she says, but you can tell that she's happy to carry this burden – and is able do it. Because behind her delicate, vulnerable appearance there is strength and self-confidence.)"
