Ich hatte einen Freund, der hatte sich so eine Theorie zurechtgelegt. Von der Welt nichts zu wollen, damit er ganz er selbst sein kann. Der wollte keine Spuren hinterlassen. […] Ihr seid alle immer so vernünftig, hat er gesagt. Ihr plant alles, deswegen habt ihr immer Angst, dass was nicht klappen könnte. Immer Programm. […] Nein, ich weiß nicht wo er jetzt ist. Der ist einfach verschwunden.

— Alle meine Mädchen; inszeniert von Iris Gusner, 1980

For man, time can't just disappear without a trace, because it's subjective, belongs in the category of spirituality. The time we lived through are stored in our soul as layers of experience bound by time. In some ways the past is much more real or at least more stable and constant than the present. The present is ever elusive and disappears like sand through fingers and only achieves material weight in memory.

— Andrei Tarkovsky
