Auch ist das vielleicht nicht eigentlich Liebe, wenn ich sage, daß Du mir das Liebste bist; Liebe ist, daß Du mir das Messer bist, mit dem ich in mir wühle. (Kafka)
(Also it is maybe not actually love, if I say that you are the darling to me; love is that you are to me the knife, with which I dig in myself.)

Dichtung ist immer nur eine Expedition nach der Wahrheit. (Kafka)
(Poetry is always only an expedition after the truth.)

2006-10-23T10:44:00.000-07:00

with these colours used, the owners must be either delighted or doubtful upon returning home, I due like it, but doubt purchasing it if chance was given.....

The trick is not to let your safety pin be removed....

2006-10-23T10:27:00.000-07:00

...but the best thing is to let your saftey pin, as seen above, be removed by the other and wait, if it is tustworthy time will tell or better the fuze will not ignite but sparkle around the explosive and will keep the kick alive. Untrained or unserious personal might cause injuries.
