"Wisdom likes men who are reckless, scornful and violent; 
being a woman, her heart goes out to a soldier." 
-Zarathustra

"An artist worth his salt is permanently separated from ordinary reality."/"There is no feast without cruelty, as man's entire history attests. Punishment, too, has its festive features."/"All good things have at one time been considered evil; every original sin has, at some point, turned into an original virtue."

-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals
