Den Menschen verbessern - damit fängt aller Terror an, Religionsstifter, Totalitäre, selbstgerechte Stückeschreiber, Ideologen wollen immer den neuen Menschen, den besseren.
Alan Turing

“Only the foolish learn from experience - the wise learn from the experience of others.”

Nur der Dumme lernt aus Erfahrung, der Kluge aus der Erfahrung der anderen!
