"Being deep and appearing deep.
-Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom: the crown is so timid and afraid of going into the water."
~ Nietzsche

What aims at reality is better than what aims at appearence. Appearance may be defined as what a man would not choose to have if no one were to know of his having it.

What WAS he talking about? Heh.

Neither always, nor never.
