Die Geschichte wiederholt sich nie, aber es gibt offensichtliche Präzedenzfälle, nach denen Pessimisten streben können: Sarajevo, 1914; das Sudetenland der Tschechoslowakei, 1938. Ebenso relevant könnten die tragisch bedeutungslosen Garantien sein, die Großbritannien 1939 an Polen ausgab.

I do admit to being challenging, but it's always for the work, it's never personal. I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.
