"The greatest tragedies are not the ones we see coming, but the ones we never expected."
"Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced."
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
"The only thing stronger than the desire to live is the desire to love."
