“Everything that was created is good, says the holy writing; why not human beings only? Why should they be otherwise than they are? Strange! - This fills me with sorrow. To slaughter one's sensations and wishes on the altars of necessity or morality, one calls that virtue.” — Karoline von Günderrode
