Mikhail Lermontov
“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea.”

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
I think, increasingly, that Nietzsche has a point. And that it is important to disentangle from the things we are against, and so to be free to create something new and beautiful, together!
