Not too much changed in two or three thousand years

Maxmilian Schell, the Austrian-born Academy Award actor, who died on February 1, said in an interview with the New York Times in 2001:

"The world doesn't change. Tha balance of evil will always be the same.

"I think all the poets and artists have always written for peace and love and it hasn't changed much in the last two or three thousand years. But we hope."
