—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations ... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one’s own efforts.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
