"Warfare is the father of all good..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.”

“People who feel insecure in social situations never miss a chance to exhibit their dominance over close, submissive friends, whomthey put down publicly, in front of everyone--by teasing, for example.”

“Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.”

“The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.”

“Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.”

“The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.”

“Paintings and fightings are best seen at a distance.”

“Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice as large teeming flaw colonies, the result of being that they get on each other's nerves and regularly erupt into vicious emotional shouting matches over such issues as toaster settings.”

“First catch your Boer, then kick him.”
