“...Schmidt admitted in private that if were up to him he would've happily burned them, burned them with glee and without thinking twice and kept the ashes too, he'd said, in an urn that he'd place prominently on a mantel in the Berlin residence he hoped one day to die in, an urn that would serve as a reminder of the perils and pitfalls of mediocrity.”
