-
“It was both odd and unjust, a real example of pitiful arbitrariness of existance, that you were born into a particular time & held prisoner there whether you wanted it or not. It gave you an indecent advantage over the past and made you a clown vis-a-vis the future.”
-- Daniel Kehlmann -
“People who have experienced nothing love to tell stories while people who have experienced a great deal suddenly have no stories to tell at all.”
-- Daniel Kehlmann
