The most wonderful aspect of life still seems to be that some coarse and crude intervention and even blatant violation can become the occasion for establishing a new order within us. This is indeed the most superb achievement of our vitality: that it interprets evil as something good and quite actually inverts the two.
Rainer Maria Rilke, in a letter to Anita Forrer, dated 14 February 1920
