"I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost.

"In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up.

Oswald Spengler
