Summary

This quote highlights the unique nature of writing in comparison to ballet dancing. Unlike ballet, where the quality of performance is easily discernible based on the dancer's skill and grace, writing does not have a visible distinction between good and bad execution.

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
