For believe me, the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously!
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a spark may cross and set fire to his own house.
The greatest danger to mankind is not nature, but man himself, because we are the origin of all coming evil.
There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they had no good qualities at all.
The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, and the foolish child must be approached with caution.
