• But say, my brothers, what can the child do that even the lion could not do? Why must the preying lion still become a child?  The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a sacred 'Yes.'  For the game of creation, my brothers, a sacred 'Yes' is needed: the spirit now wills his own will, and he who had been lost to the world now conquers his own world.

  Friedrich Nietzsche
