“Do you remember,[..]that Döblin* said that time is a butcher and that all of us are running away from the butcher’s knife? Well that’s me, and that’s all of us. You too. I’ll run until I fall. But until I fall, I want to live.”

*novelist Alfred Döblin, 1929 novel 'Berlin Alexanderplatz'

“One of the curses of history is that we cannot go back and change the course leading to disasters, no matter how much we might wish to. The past has its own terrible inevitability.

But it is never too late to change the future.”
