"The slow arrow of beauty. - The noblest kind of beauty is not that which suddenly transports us, which makes a violent and intoxicating assault upon us (such beauty can easily excite disgust), but that which slowly infiltrates us, which we bear away with us almost without noticing and encounter again in dreams, but which finally, after having for long lain modestly in our heart, takes total possession of us, filling our eyes with tears and our heart with longing. - What is it we long for at the sight of beauty? To be beautiful ourself: we imagine we would be very happy if we were beautiful. - But that is an error."
--Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

"I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables - slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy stuff we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very angry."
- Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)
