“You do not know what will happen if you take down the walls; you cannot see through to the other side, don’t know whether it will bring freedom or ruin, resolution or chaos. It might be paradise, or destruction. Take down the walls.”

“That the wall is coming down.”
“Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls.”
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
