“In spring 1989...I saw the buildup of demonstrations from Chengdu to Tiananmen Square. It struck me that fear had been forgotten to such an extent that few of the millions of demonstrators perceived danger. Most seemed to be taken by surprise when the army opened fire.” MillionsTakenFireSawsDangerSpringArmySurpriseForgottenChinaSquaresDemonstrationTiananmen Square Author:Jung Chang
“Most people willingly deceive themselves with a doubly false faith; they believe in eternal memory (of men, things, deeds, peoples) and in rectification (of deeds, errors, sins, injustice). Both are sham. The truth lies at the opposite end of the scale: everything will be forgotten and nothing will be rectified. All rectification (both vengeance and forgiveness) will be taken over by oblivion.” PeopleMenBelieveEndsLyingMemoriesSinTakenEternalOppositesErrorsInjusticeForgottenDeedsScalesDeceivingVengeanceOblivionRectification Author:Milan Kundera
