Could truth perhaps be a woman who has reasons for not permitting her reasons to be seen? could her name perhaps be--to speak greek--baubo?... oh, those greeks! they understood how to live: to do that it is necessary to stop bravely at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore the appearance, to believe in forms, in tones, in words, in the whole olympus of appearance! those greeks were superficial--out of profundity!

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

The first colour charts were unsystematic. they were based directly on commercial colour samples. they were still related to pop art. in the canvases that followed, the colours were chosen arbitrarily and drawn by chance. then, 180 tones were mixed according to a given system and drawn by chance to make four variations of 180 tones. but after that the number 180 seemed too arbitrary to me, so i developed a system based on a number of rigorously defined tones and proportions.
Art Numbers Arbitrary
George was the easy part. as for michael, i had always liked the name, and my father's brother is named michael. i thought it was a good idea because there are a lot of greeks in england with the second name of michael; as a child i had a greek friend whose second name was michael. it was like getting the name that i wanted without having to get rid of the greek element.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Greek mathematics is the real thing. the greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand... so greek mathematics is 'permanent', more permanent even than greek literature.
Real Science Understanding
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

Most impediments to scientific understanding are conceptual locks, not factual lacks. most difficult to dislodge are those biases that escape our scrutiny because they seem so obviously, even ineluctably, just. we know ourselves best and tend to view other creatures as mirrors of our own constitution and social arrangements. ( aristotle , and nearly two millennia of successors, designated the large bee that leads the swarm as a king.

Let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarcy, that in america the law is king. for as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.
Country Kings Government
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Poets are far rarer birds than kings.
