” The apocalypse is imminent. We beasts have known it for a long time, and we all know it. Behind the party bickering, the armament and disarmament debates, the military parades and anti-war marches, behind the facade of the desire for peace and the endless ceasefires, there is a secret agreement, an unspoken great understanding: that we must put an end to ourselves and those like us, as soon as and so thoroughly as possible — without quarter, without scruples and without survivors.” ~ Ulrich Horstmann

” The true Garden of Eden — that is the wasteland. The goal of the story — is the weathered field of ruins. The sense — that is the trickling sand blown through the eye sockets under the skull cap.” ~ Ulrich Horstmann
