Secret of the Arts

'Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters; united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their marvels.'
Francesco de Goya

    Thanks for that. If I have it right, I think this is the English translation of your Nietzsche quote:
    "The more one seeks to rise into height and light, the more vigorously do ones roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep - into evil."
    Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885). Part I, Chapter 8, "On the Tree on the Mountain" Friedrich Nietzsche

    This quote--which I was unaware of--is a perfect summation of the theme explored in DARK GOLD.
