A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.
– Johann Christian Friedrich von Schiller
Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yieldAgainst stupidity the very godsThemselves contend in vain. Exalted reason, Resplendent daughter of the head divine,Wise founders of the system of the world,Guide of the stars, who are thou then, if thou,Bound to the tail of folly's uncurb'd steed,Must, vainly shrieking, with the drunken crowd,Eyes open, plunge down headlong in the abyss.
– Johann Christian Friedrich von Schiller
