- Es ist so, als habe sich das ganze riesengroße Land einfach verflüchtigt, und obwohl die Menschen hier auch noch Deutsch sprechen und auf den Schildern überall deutsche Sätze stehen, scheint es mir so, als ob Deutschland nur noch eine Ahnung wäre, eine große Maschine jenseits der Grenze, eine Maschine, die sich bewegt und Dinge herstellt, die von niemandem beachtet werden.
