    Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt—for “woman.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    ... the precipitate of sorrow is happiness, the precipitate of struggle is success. Life means opportunity, and the thing men call death is the last wonderful, beautiful adventure.
