"This was when I rediscovered MAN-Werke ('even as they started fires outside the MAN-Werke, even as they sat at corner table in the restaurant in the Hauptbahnhof until five in the morning'), thinking that my loneliness might be assuaged. It was the sort of thing that I might have sold. I wanted to walk into every room. I knew that I would have to carry it over, although others were convinced that there still was time to talk to me. They knew me; they knew how hard I worked, and how carefully I assembled much of what was done then."

Ramstein, August 1988. Personal history.
I had seen it; I spent all day on the telephone, and I knew. I knew how they were. I knew what they were doing. I was their enemy, and it was my job--it was both my job and my duty--to remain well-informed.
This was as true beneath the Jakobertor as it was across town, at the Oberhausen Bahnhof. It was someone else's conception of how that world might be arranged.
I was an arsonist in that society, or had hoped to be. There were cowboys, criminals, outlaws, spies, athletes--I didn't know. There was such a catalogue of things; I could barely follow it. I had not cared to follow it, at least not at that time.

Klein's latest. They always point out he was born in Augsburg. The guest in the trees, on the German-Polish border.
"I would have liked to reduce many people to types, but it took a lot of time, and patience, and I had neither. I was not bragging, or even exerting the force of my own personality. I was telling what I thought was the truth; it should have been obvious, maybe, but I could not see how it would be obvious. I did things first in one pass, and then in two passes. I sectioned them off."
