whatever is profound loves masks; what is most profound even hates image and parable. Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever has value in our world now does not have value in itself, according to its nature —nature is always value-less, but has been given value at some time, as a present—and it was we who gave and bestowed it. Friedrich Nietzsche
