Summary

This quote suggests that trust is a fragile and unreliable concept. It implies that people cannot be relied upon as they are inherently untrustworthy. The phrase "can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him" symbolizes a lack of confidence in others. However, rather than dwelling on this mistrust, the quote suggests embracing the realities of human nature and enjoying the moment by having a drink. It conveys a sense of acceptance and a desire to focus on the present, despite the uncertainties surrounding trust.

Facta! Yes, Facta ficta! - A historian has to do, not with what actually happened, but only with events supposed to have happened: for only the latter have produced an effect. Likewise only with supposed heroes. His theme, so-called world history, is opinions about supposed actions and their supposed motives, which in turn give rise to further opinions and actions, the reality of which is however at once vaporised again and produces an effect only as vapour - a continual generation and pregnancy of phantoms over the impentetrable mist of unfathomable reality. All historians speak of things which have never existed except in imagination.

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
