The Germans are incapable of any conception of greatness: proof Schumann.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
