there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day-and the best at murder are those who preach against it-and the best at hate are those who preach love-
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace-those who preach god, need god-those who preach peace, do not have peace-those who preach peace, do not have love-beware the preachers-beware the knowers-beware those who are always reading books-beware those who either detest poverty or are proud of it-beware those quick to praise for they need praise in return-beware those who are quick to censor, they are afraid of what they do not know-beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone-beware the average man, the average woman-beware their love, their love is average-seeks average-but there is genius in their hatred-there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you-to kill anybody not wanting solitude, not understanding solitude-they will attempt to destroy anything that differs from their own-not being able to create art they will not understand art-they will consider their failure as creators, only as a failure of the world-not being able to love fully they will believe your love incomplete-and then they will hate you-and their hatred will be perfect-like a shining diamond-like a knife-like a mountain-like a tiger-like hemlock-THEIR FINEST ART
