It is madness, but there is method to this madness. For it is he who develops, while the others mentioned must remain silent.

We look at this. We consider it madness, albeit methodical. But the others call it: “The battle of civilization against barbarism!” - “The battle of the spirit against matter!” - I don't need to say anything more about that and I can leave it to your own thoughts as to what you want to think about it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.
