“And as the Stasi began to pay more and more attention to the new network, they made the same mistake they had when trying to break up the punk scene a few years before: they sought to identify leaders and focus on undermining them.

Questo comporta una sorta di fede preveggente nella vita; la convinzione che causa ed effetto siano legati, e che essi stessi siano qualcosa di più della semplice somma del loro passato.”
