• You believe I run after the strange because I do not know the beautiful; no, it is because you do not know the beautiful that I seek the strange.

    Georg C. Lichtenberg: You believe I run after the strange because I do not know the beautiful; no, it is because you do not know the beautiful that I seek the strange.
