You Do Not Attain To Knowledge By Remaining On The Shore And Watching The Foaming Waves, You Must Make The Venture And Cast Yourself In, You Must Swim, Alert And With All Your Force, Even If A Moment Comes When You Think You Are Losing Consciousness; In This Way, And In No Other, Do You Reach Anthropological Insight.

In Fleeing From Him, It Is Possible To Circumvent Him As He Advances And Fall On Him From The Rear And Force Him To Surrender. What Is Needed Is Not To Strike Straight At Evil But To Withdraw To The Sources Of Divine Power, And From There To Circle Around Evil, Bend It And Transform It Into Its Opposite.
