masks behind masks behind masks.
If only this world was

If only time was
a sequence of considered moves
and not a chaos of slippages and blunders.”
― The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

“one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. Yes, the Devil shall take the hindmost until the foremost is the hindmost. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul; for the human species, selfishness is extinction”
