And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

"Nothing can intensify my passion more than tyranny, cruelty, and
especially the faithlessness of a beautiful woman." -- Leopold von
Sacher-Masoch, "Venus in Furs"

"As the seventeen-year-old Karl Rossmann, who had been sent to America
by his unfortunate parents because a maid had seduced him and had a
child by him, sailed slowly into New York harbour, he suddenly saw the
Statue of Liberty, which had already been in view for some time, as
though in an intenser sunlight. The sword in her hand seemed only just
to have been raised aloft, and the unchained winds blew about her
form." -- Franz Kafka, "Amerika"
