“To them, in their confusion, the arc of fate resembles nothing they have ever known before. Just as, for so long, we were mistaken about the movement of the sun, we are still mistaken about what lies ahead of us in time. The future stands firm, dear Mr. Kappus; we, however, drift in infinite space.” — Rainer Maria Rilke
