“Fate deals the cards that set the game and every player takes their place. No soul can know what each hand holds, only time reveals such mysteries. Each player lays their cards in turn, believing that they control their destiny, blind to the web that connects us all. Every deed is not a single song, but alas, a single note in life’s symphony.”

“We could have saved the world, we would have saved the world in the blink of an eye, in einem Augenblick, but we didn't, or I didn't, and love didn't triumph; I betrayed love, and often when I can't sleep, which is to say almost every night, I hear in my head the message on her answering machine, 'Hello, this is Kate, leave me a message,' and her voice was so fresh, like diving into a waterfall at the end of a dusty summer afternoon: you immediately felt washed of all dirt, discomfort and all evil.”

“There are no meaningless moments or deeds in history,' [Tomasz] Burek wrote in an influential text ('On the Razor's Edge') published in 1968, 'history happens at every moment, [and] is determined in every gesture of every individual life. This sense that we live ... on the razor's edge, totally and ruthlessly, believing that everything about us is always the result of human choice and the drive to humanity within each person - this is not theology or historical determinism but a realistic approach.”
