    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.

    Considered physiologically, everything ugly weakens and saddens man. It reminds him of decay, danger, impotence; it actually reduces his strength. The effect of ugliness can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever anyone feels depressed, he senses the proximity of something “ugly.” His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride—they decline with ugliness, they rise with beauty.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The Throne raises the majesty of kings above scorn and above laws.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
