�The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.�
- Ursula K Le Guin (b. 1929), American author: �The Lathe of Heaven�, 1971.

�A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.�
- Ian Anderson (b. 1947), British rock musician: in �Rolling Stone� (New York), November 30, 1989.

�In order for the wheel to turn, for life to be lived, impurities are needed, and for the impurities of impurities in the soil, too, as is known, if it is to be fertile. Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that�s why you�re not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not. But immaculate virtue does not exist either, or if it exists it is detestable.�
- Primo Levi (1919 � 1987), Italian chemist and author: �The Periodic Table�, 1975, translated 1984.
