“What do I actually mean when I say 'delusion'? I mean the absurdity of the claim that the excessive atomic armament of both sides creates a 'balance of terror' that reduces the danger of war; that in the long run it even offers a minimum of security. ... Hence the cynical saying: He who strikes first will die second.” FirstsMeanLongWarRunningDiesSidesSecurityDangerBalanceOffersClaimsTerrorStrikesDelusionCynicalLong RunsMinimumAbsurdityBoth SidesArmament Author:Christa Wolf

“Practically all writers and artists are aware of their destiny and see themselves as actors in a fateful drama.

I know I am going to die soon.” KnowsMatterAgeArtistDiesActorsNumbersDestinyWrittenYouthDramaSentencesOld AgeGloriousDelusionCoincidenceObscure Author:Eric Hoffer
