===== quotes =====

>Die Geschichte des Teufels, das ist die Geschichte des Fortschritts, wir hätten unser Buch ebensogut ›Evolution‹ nennen können. Und Fortschritt ist selbstverständlich mit Geschichte identisch: Nur was sich entwickelt, das hat Geschichte. Wir sehen also, Teufel und Fortschritt und Geschichte, das sind Synonyme. Wir hätten unser Buch auch ›Die Geschichte der Geschichte‹ oder ›Teufel des Teufels‹ nennen können."(([[:tag:person:klaus_sander|]], [[:flusser-quellen|Flusser-Quellen. Eine kommentierte Bibliografie Vilém Flussers von 1960–2002]], 13))

>>"The story of the devil, that is the story of progress, we could just as well have called our book 'evolution'. And progress is, of course, identical with history: only what evolves has history. So we see that the devil and progress and history are synonyms. We could have called our book 'The History of History' or 'Devil of the Devil'."(([[:tag:person:klaus_sander|]], [[:flusser-quellen|Flusser-Quellen. Eine kommentierte Bibliografie Vilém Flussers von 1960–2002]], 13))  \\

>Nós os ocidentais, somos produtos de uma tradição oficial que pinta o diabo com cores negativas, a saber, como opositor de Deus. Essa tradição parece querer esgotar-se. Ultimamente poucos ocidentais têm-se dedicado à pintura do diabo. As próprias religiões parecem não ter mais o diabo no corpo. O Ocidente cala-se com respeito ao diabo, e pretende tê-lo esquecido, de acordo com a regra: "não se pense nele". É uma atitude suspeita."<sup>((6)))</sup>

>>"We Westerners are the products of an official tradition that paints the devil in negative colours, namely as the opponent of God. This tradition seems to be running out. Lately few Westerners have devoted themselves to painting the devil. The religions themselves no longer seem to have the devil in their bodies. The West is silent about the devil and pretends to have forgotten him, according to the rule: "don't think about him". It is a suspicious attitude."((Vilém Flusser,  A História do Diabo , 2012, cover text))
