Interlude: An Aphorism 10

"Whoever must be a creator also annihilates."
-Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

This aphorism and many other fine examples of the style may be found in The World in a Phrase - A Brief History of the Aphorism by James Geary.

The act of creation is thus the absolution of guilt within the face of one's own self-annihilation.
