“A sure way to irritate people and to put evil thoughts into their heads is to keep them waiting a long time. This makes them immoral.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
