"People are always shouting that they want to create a better future. its not true. the future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of eager life, there to irritate, provoke, and insult us, tempt us to destroy it or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past. They are fighting for access to the laboratories where photographs are retouched and biographies and histories rewritten"
-- Czech novelist Milan Kundera, 1982.
