Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche: "War has always been the great wisdom of all spirits who have become too inward, too profound; even in a wound there is the power to heal. A maxim, the origin of which I withhold from scholarly curiosity, has long been my motto:
Increscunt animi, virescit volnere virtus.
['The spirits increase, vigor grows through a wound.']"
