“Each grass from a lifeless grain is bred, Else to harvest no wheat were won: Always from good is good begun. So seemly a seed could not die in vain, That sprig nor spice there would be none Of that precious pearl without a stain.”

“The knowledge of Good and Evil, no matter how systematically or thoroughly consumed, will by no means make us gods.

In order to gain control over the world, we have been too willing to renounce essential aspects of our own freedom.”
