One does well to put on gloves when reading the New Testament. The proximity of so much uncleanliness almost forces one to do this.
Friedrich NietzscheThere is a lake that one day refused to flow away and threw up a dam at the place where it had before flowed out and since then this lake has always risen higher and higher. Perhaps the very act of renunciation provides us with the strength to bear it ; perhaps man will rise ever higher and higher when he no longer flows out into a God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
