Quotes
Marcus: Nobody knows what's going on cause nobody wants things to happen. We only know what we want to happen and that's how it does. In '17, Lenin didn't say "We'll have a revolution cause we want one"; he said "The time's ripe for one and it's inevitable". They had one because they had to and it was inevitable only because they wanted it. Each time something occurs, it's for the worst. That's why nobody wants to stir up the future. You'd have to be a madman to risk causing a new 1919, a new 1914 or a new 1937.
Paul: So, nothing will ever happen?
Marcus: It will. Because there are always madmen and assholes who'll follow them while wisemen do nothing.
