To improve man - that's the beginning of all terror. Religion founders, totalitarists, self-righteous playwrights, ideologues, they always want the new man, the better one.

Den Menschen verbessern - damit fängt aller Terror an, Religionsstifter, Totalitäre, selbstgerechte Stückeschreiber, Ideologen wollen immer den neuen Menschen, den besseren.
