| Quotes |
1. Werner:
I intend to give you my current thoughts on an idea I've been committed to for 40 years. Every generation yearns for light. It needs reassurance and faith that the world can be better and a fairer place. This yearning which is older than Marx and younger than Marx, is like a drug. Early in life it brings joy, because the light seems so near and within reach. At life's end it brings bitterness, because the light has grown once again. In these 40 years I've lived through many things and the light seems further away than ever before, and thus I shouldn't encourage you, but you can be sure of one thing: without bitterness and this hope, life would be pitiful indeed.
