‘One must be astonished totally, yet more and more softly.  

That is how eternity wonders at the times and changes them.  

One must wonder at the wonders.'  

—from the diary, 21 November, 1921

from Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary by Hugo Ball, 

edited and with an introduction by John Elderfield; 

translated from the German by Ann Raimes; 

University of California Press: 1996
