"I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation." -- Nietzsche, The Gay Science (emphasis in original)

A man walks into a tailor's and says to him, "I need a cheap black suit by Saturday." "What's the occasion?" the tailor asks. "Your funeral."
