"In Berlin, 

...Schinkel fought to realise his vision, Kollwitz struggled to shape her fear, Isherwood –living on a tutor's stipend– reworked reality, and Bowie made his journey from addiction to indepedence, from celebrity paranoia to radical, unmasked messenger who told us, all the fat- skinny people, all the nobody people who had dreamt of a new world of equals, that we were beautiful, that we could be ourselves."
