User talk:A Knavish Bonded

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“	Strange regions there are, strange minds, strange realms of the spirit, lofty and spare. At the edge of large cities, where street lamps are scarce and policemen walk by twos...where pale young geniuses, criminals of the dream, sit with folded arms and brood.... Here the air is so rarefied that the mirages of life no longer exist. Here reign defiance and iron consistency, the ego supreme amid despair; here freedom, madness, and death hold sway.	”
—Thomas Mann (from At the Prophet's 1904)
