He looked at the ceiling for a moment, his face almost troubled. 'Do you remember what we were speaking of earlier, of how bloody, terrible things are sometimes the most beautiful? he said. 'It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrownback, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn."

"Bazıları dünya erken kalkanlarındır der.
Gerçek bu değil! Dünya mutlu uyananlarındır."
Monica Vitti
The greater part of what interests and charms higher natures, and more refined and fastidious tastes, seems absolutely "uninteresting" to the average man.
"Because of that, I realised that the details about it's founding weren't just absolutely secret; they didn't exist in the first place, and that the Aerial Casino wasn't built 13 years ago but 8 days ago. 8 days ago, it was written into the 'page' and immediately appeared together with it's 13 years of history, of course. There were two reasons to do that to make it the next terrorist base and to give it as payment to Sigma, for the use of his ability. It sure wasn't for nothing, huh."
"Our boss hates doing things for nothing. It is now my turn. Well, then... Thank you for your interesting talk."
