“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,

But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
