No Country for Love Quotes

“No, nobody could have saved them. Nobody. We are up against history. History is a wild and bloodthirsty animal. It is on a rampage through this country again, breaking and remaking it anew. You can’t stand in its way, and you can’t stop it. All you can hope is that it misses you as it lashes out and claws its way forward. That it doesn’t notice you. That it crushes someone else. All you can do is try to be invisible. Invisible to survive.”
― Yaroslav Trofimov, No Country for Love
