The point is to...live one’s life in the full complexity of what one is, which is something much darker, more contradictory, more of a maelstrom of impulses and passions, of cruelty, ecstasy, and madness, than is apparent to the civilized being who glides on the surface and fits smoothly into the world. —Thomas Nagel summarizing the teachings of Friedrich Nietzche
Love is the state in which man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
