    Let us be realistic and demand the impossible.
    [Soyons rĂ©alistes, demandons l’impossible.]
    Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)

    Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
