Claudia quotes from Dark

A man lives three lives. The first one ends with the loss of naivety, the second, with the loss of innocence and the third… with the loss of life itself. It’s inevitable that we go through all three stages.

[voiceover] Every journey has a beginning. But yours has no end. It goes on forever and ever. [to Adam] I'm here to finally make your journey come to an end.

Adam

This is impossible. You should be dead. I had you killed.

You still have no idea just how this game is played. You want to destroy the knot, but every action you take continues its existence.

Adam

This can't be. I have killed it. I have killed the origin, and the origin within her.

Your world and Eve's world, they both should have never existed. You thought that the origin lies in the bindings of both worlds. But in reality, it's outside of both worlds. Our thinking is shaped by dualities. Black, white. Light and shadow. Your world and Eve's world. But this is false. You need a third dimension to fulfill it all.

Adam

The triquetra. [sighs] That means... a third world?

The world that gave birth to this knot. Where everything originates. Where a single mistake was made. Tannhaus, in the origin world, like you, he lost someone. And like you, he tried to bring that person back from the dead. But instead he divided and destroyed his world...And created our two worlds. But there is a way to destroy the knot. Through preventing, in the origin world...the invention of travel through space and time in the first place. I'd have liked to have spared you all that. But your path has to remain unchanged. Every step has to be taken as before. Up until this very moment.

Adam

This here... Has this happened before?

Your trying to destroy the origin has happened an infinite number of times. But this here, you and I... this is the first time. It's time for you to understand how everything is really connected.

Adam

Life is a labyrinth. Some wander around until their death in search of a way out of it. But there is only one path, and it leads ever deeper inside. Only when one reaches the center will one understand. Death is incomprehensible. But one can reconcile oneself with it. All that we've done...is ultimately forgotten. We are responsible... for this never-ending déjà vu. And we're the ones who have to end it. We...are the mistake.

Both of our fates are bound together in eternal damnation. Across both worlds. All is cause and effect. Every pain tempts us to act, forms our will. Tannhaus lost everything that ever meant anything to him in the origin world. His son, his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter died in a car accident. They were forced off a bridge and drowned in the river. He could never let go of his pain. Jonas and Martha...must take his pain away. So that he never looks for a way to undo everything. They must go to the origin world... and prevent our two worlds...from ever being created.
