PHILOSOPHY
"I name you the three metamorphoses of the spirit: how the spirit shall become a camel, and the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra "But tell me, my brothers, what can the child do that even the lion cannot? Why must the preying lion still become a child? The child is innocence and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a sport, a self-propelling wheel, a first motion, a sacred Yes. Yes, a sacred Yes is needed, my brothers, for the sport of creation: the spirit now wills its own will, the spirit sundered from the world now wins its own -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." -Jesus Christ, Mat.18:2, Mk.10:15, Lk18:17 "... [E]vil is an invention of freedom....[A]n ethical vision of evil is a vision in which freedom is revealed in its depths as power to act and power to be; the freedom that evil supposes is a freedom capable of digression, deviation, subversion, wandering." - Paul Ricoeur, The Conflict of Interpretations |
