« What we can also do, though, is accept that while the arts won’t save us, we should save them anyway. Because the enemies of civilized society are always just outside the door. »

(Michael Kimmelman, International Herald Tribune, “In Dresden, high culture and deep hate”, August 4, 2009. On the first of July, a pregnant Egyptian woman, was stabbed 18 times, in a Dresden courtroom, by a German with sympathy for far-right. He was accused because he had called her a terrorist and a slut.)
