You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate. As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize. As the dead carcasses of unburied men. That do corrupt my air, I banish you; And here remain with your uncertainty!

John Stuart Mill

That man is not yet a finished creation but rather a challenge of the spirit; a distant possibility dreaded as much as it is desired; that the way towards it has only been covered for a short distance and with terrible agonies and ecstasies even by those few for whom it is the scaffold today and the monument tomorrow - all this the Steppenwolf, too, suspected.
