No difference of rank, position, or birth is so great as the gulf that separates the countless millions who use their head only in the service of their belly, in other words, look upon it as an instument of the will, and those very few and rare persons who have the courage to say: No! it is too good for that; my head shall be active only in its own service; it shall try to comprehend the wonderous and varied spectacle of this world, and then reproduce it in some form, whether as art or literature, that may answer to my character as an individual. These are the truly noble, the real noblesse of the world. The others are serfs and go with the soil.....
--Arthur Schopenhauer

"Oh beautiful. We're lost, but we're making good time."
