    “We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.”

    “Ere the bat hath flown
    His cloistered flight, ere to black Hecate’s summons
    The shard-born beetle with his drowsy hums
    Hath rung night’s yawning peal, there shall be done
    A deed of dreadful note.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
