Nietzsche quote?[edit]

The preface quote by Nai Tyrol-Llar is very similar to (and likely a reference to) a quotation by Friedrich Nietzsche, "Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein. [He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.]" RUSTY 04:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Though Nietzsche is with good reason the best known, there has been many philosophers, poets and authors dealing with similar themes, so without any clearer references, this will have to rest for now. —MortenOSlash (talk) 17:12, 16 March 2014 (GMT)
