Translation

Find a translation for this quote in other languages:

Die Geschichte ist ein unerbittlicher Meister. es hat keine Gegenwart, nur die Vergangenheit eilt in die Zukunft. zu versuchen, festzuhalten, heißt, beiseite zu fegen.

A história é um mestre implacável. não tem presente, apenas o passado correndo para o futuro. tentar segurar firme é ser varrido para o lado.

история - беспощадный мастер у него нет настоящего, только прошлое устремляется в будущее. пытаться удержаться - значит быть отброшенным
